Delaware Flag History : Delaware was one of the thirteen states of the U.S.A and is named after Lord de la Warr. He was Governor of Virginia from 1610-1618. The coat of arms reflects the agricultural, which dates from 1777. The shield depicting a wheatsheaf, an ear of corn and an ox is supported by a soldier and a farmer. The crest of a ship in full sail is represented because of Delaware being a maritime state. The diamond shape was added after the flag was officially adopted in July 1913.
