South Carolina has an official state flag. Consisting of a white palmetto tree underneath a white crescent-shaped moon, it’s become synonymous with the Southern state. The South Carolina flag, in fact, has been around for over two centuries, making it one of the country’s oldest flags. Even if you live in South Carolina, though, there are probably some things you don’t know about it. Below are five fun facts about the flag of South Carolina.

#1) Based on Early Revolutionary War Flags

Historians believe that the South Carolina flag was based on early Revolutionary War flags. In 1775, South Carolina politician and general William Moultrie was asked to design a flag for the state’s troops. Moultrie eventually came up with a design consisting of the same blue color found on the soldiers’ uniforms as well as crescent-shaped moon found on their caps.

#2) Flown During the Battle at Fort Sullivan

The South Carolina state flag was famously flown during the Battle of Fort Sullivan. Fort Sullivan was a strategic fort during the American Revolution. In 1776, it can under attack by British forces. According to reports, British ships shot down the flag during a 16-hour siege. Upon noticing the downed flag, Sergeant William Jasper risked his life to raise it back above Fort Sullivan. This heroic action resulted in a newfound appreciation for the South Carolina flag.

#3) The Palmetto Tree Was Added in 1861

When Moultrie designed the first flag of South Carolina, he didn’t include a palmetto tree in it. Rather, the palmetto tree was added to the South Carolina state flag in 1861. What does this palmetto tree represent exactly? During the Battle of Fort Sullivan, British forces struggled to attack the island base due to the presence of palmetto trees. Fort Sullivan had been designed with a barrier of palmetto trees that shielded it from the British ships’ bombardment.

#4) No Standardized Specifications

While the modern-day state banner of South Carolina features a uniform design consisting of a white palmetto tree and a crescent-shaped moon against a blue background, there are no standardized specifications for it. In other words, the South Carolina flag can feature different shades of white for the palmetto tree and moon and different shapes of blue for the background. The size of the palmetto tree and moon can also vary.

#5) Different Versions

Over the years, there have been different versions of the South Carolina state flag. One of the most famous versions is the Palmetto Guard Flag. Designed in the mid-1800s, it consisted of a single red star against a white background. Other versions of the flag of South Carolina include the Secession flag and the South Carolina Sovereignty flag.

Who designed the South Carolina flag?

In 1775, Colonel William Moultrie was asked by the Revolutionary Council of Safety to design a flag for the South Carolina troops to use during the American Revolutionary War. Moultrie’s design had the blue of the militia’s uniforms and the crescent. It was first flown at Fort Johnson. This flag was flown in the defense of a new fortress on Sullivan’s Island, when Moultrie went up against a British fleet that had not lost a battle in a century. Soon popularly known as either the Liberty Flag or Moultrie Flag, it became the standard of the South Carolinian militia, and was presented in Charleston, by Major General Nathanael Greene, when the city was liberated at the end of the war. Greene described it as having been the first American flag to fly over the South. The current state flag of South Carolina (with the Palmetto tree) was officially adopted on January 28, 1861.

What do the details on the South Carolina flag represent?

The Palmetto Tree is a sign of strength for South Carolina. It represents the defense of Fort Moultrie, which was constructed of palmetto logs, on Sullivan’s Island from British attack in June 28, 1776. The reason the logs protected the fort is because the Palmetto does not have rings like a typical tree. Therefore the cannonballs that were fired on Fort Moultrie did not break through the fort but stayed embedded in the walls. The second image on the flag is the crescent. The meaning of the crescent shape actually isn’t known for certain. There are two possible things that it could be. The first option is that it is a gorget, which was the crescent worn on the caps of the South Carolina revolutionary soldiers. This version is actually what most people believe. The other choice seems to make a lot of sense too, though. In European history, the crescent was a symbol that represented towns founded on the banks of a river loop. Charleston, or Charlestown, was the founding city of what became South Carolina, and was established on a “loop” of the Ashley River. So the image on the state flag could represent the founding city of Charlestown.

How am I supposed to fly my South Carolina flag with my United States flag?

When flying the South Carolina flag with the flag of the United States on the same pole, the flag of United States must always be at the top and the South Carolina flag should be the same size or smaller. When It is flown on separate poles, the South Carolina flag will be to the right of the flag of the United States situating the U.S. flag in the position of honor, which is to the observer’s left of the other flags.
