The national flag of Grenada was adopted upon
independence from the United Kingdom, 7 February 1974. The flag was designed by
Anthony C. George of Soubise in Saint Andrew Parish. The civil ensign is the
same, except for a 1:2 rather than 3:5 ratio. The naval ensign is based on the
British White Ensign, with this flag in the canton (and extending into the
cross).
The six stars in the red border represent the
country's six parishes, with the middle star, encircled by a red disk,
representing Carriacou and Petite Martinique. The symbol in the hoist
represents a clove of nutmeg, one of the principal crops of Grenada. It also
represents a link to Grenada's former name, which was the "Isle of
Spice". The red colour of the flag stands for courage and vitality, gold
for wisdom and warmth, and green for vegetation and agriculture.
