New york city flag

The flag of New York City!

The flag of New York City features a blue field with five white stars, representing the five boroughs of the city: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. The flag was designed in 1915 by the City Council, and it has undergone several modifications since then.

Here's a breakdown of the flag's design:

• The blue field represents the sky and the ocean, which surround the city.
• The five white stars represent the five boroughs of New York City. Each star is a symbol of the city's unity and diversity.
• The stars are arranged in a circular pattern, with the center star representing Manhattan, the largest and most populous borough.
• The outer stars represent the other four boroughs, with Brooklyn and Queens on either side of Manhattan, and the Bronx and Staten Island on the top and bottom, respectively.

The flag is often flown at City Hall, City Council chambers, and other government buildings throughout the city. It's also a popular symbol of New York City's pride and identity.

Fun fact: The flag's design was inspired by the flag of the United States, with the five stars representing the city's five boroughs instead of the 13 original colonies.
