Anguilla is an island nation located in a rather remote, but tropical, area of the globe. The island is about 200 miles due east of Puerto Rico, and 10 miles north of the island of St. Martin. Anguilla is surrounded by the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea and is accessible by either sea or air. The island is quite small, only 16 miles in length and three miles at its widest point.
Anguilla is a British province thus the Union Jack has been available on the banner since the island was colonized and administered by the English. The dolphins on white and a stripe of blue are intended to reflect the soul and, in addition, the untamed life of the island of Anguilla.
Originally, the pale blue turquoise stripe at the bottom of the crest was meant to be the entire background of the crest, to represent the turquoise color of the Caribbean waters surrounding the island.
On the other hand, it got to be evident that a strong blue foundation would build the expense of delivering the crest, so it was changed to a stripe of blue at the base, with a white foundation.
Native Anguillans are known to prefer their own native flag, instead of the flag featuring the Union Jack. The native, unofficial flag simply displays the dolphin crest in the center of the flag, with no Union Jack. The official flag of the colony featuring both the Union Jack and the dolphin crest was first put into use on May 20, 1990.
On the other hand, the banner that is perceived by England, the overseeing power on the island, is basically the British Union Jack, since Anguilla is in fact perceived as an abroad British region. The current banner is the fifth form the island has got since its initial one in 1957. This beautiful island country has many nuanced histories, all of which contribute to the Anguillan flag of today. Flag Company Inc decided to assist with the history development by providing special decals and banners to make it easy to build a bit of history right at home.
