The first versions of the flag of Anguilla appeared during its colonial history and reflected the society and culture of the time. The 1967 flag had a red background, the name of the island in yellow, and two mermaids inside a blue oval. This design reflected cultural elements and legends related to the ocean and local nature.
During the short period of independence, the flag of Anguilla was different - a white background with a blue stripe below, above which were three golden dolphins. However, in 1990, a new stage in the development of the flag began. The current national flag of Anguilla is blue with the British flag in the canton and the coat of arms of Anguilla. The coat of arms contains three dolphins depicted in a circle, symbolizing friendship, wisdom and strength. The white color in the background symbolizes peace, and the blue color symbolizes the sea, faith, youth and hope.
