One of the original 13 colonies, New Jersey was an important battleground during the American Revolution. Located in the heart of the bustling Atlantic corridor and nestled between New York and Pennsylvania, New Jersey has the highest population density of any U.S. state. New Jersey was named after the island of Jersey in the English Channel.
The color is based on the facings of uniforms worn by New Jersey regiments during the Revolutionary War (1775-83). Like the other original states, New Jersey had its colors assigned in a directive of October 2, 1779, by George Washington, then commander in chief of the Continental Army.
The crest above the helmet is a horse's head (the horse is also New Jersey's official state animal). The supporting female figures are Liberty and Ceres (Roman goddess of grain - a symbol of abundance). Liberty carries the liberty cap on her staff and Ceres holds a cornucopia filled with harvested produce.
New Jersey's seal was originally designed by Pierre Eugene du Simitiere in 1777 and has had only minor changes made since then. Liberty originally held her staff in the crook of her arm rather than her right hand.
The three plows on the coat of arms stand for agriculture, which is also represented by the goddess Ceres (one of the supporters). The other supporter is Liberty. The horse's head in the crest was shown on early New Jersey coins.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior New Jersey flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and inferior to American-made New Jersey flags, but more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of New Jersey flag for the future.
