Like each respective nation in Europe, each state in the United States of America has or (better said) flies its respective flag from residential flag poles of all kinds. For example, the flag of the South Carolina is one of many historical flags that have been representing states for years.

The South Carolina state flag displays a blue colored field or background, a white crescent in the canton and a white palmetto tree in the center of the flag. In fact, the flag's field is "azure" (blue-cyan color) rather than blue. Interestingly, the flag's design has been in existence for years if not decades or centuries. The flag was officially adopted back in 1861, some 150 years, even though it has been in existence for longer than that.

Like most things in life, flags also are subject to opinion and review. According to a survey held by NAVA, a non-profit flag organization in North America, the flag of South Carolina as attached to tall and small flag pole and such is one of the better looking flags in the nation. In fact, it came in tenth, which is good considering dozens of other flags were subject to the survey.

The ...
... so called "colony of Carolina" was first settled by the English, interestingly mostly where from the island of Barbados. The English King at the time sent 8 aristocrats via a royal charter to settle this territory. Parts of the territory were colonized some years earlier by the Spanish. Following some battles between the Spanish and Native Americans led to the retreat of the Spanish people to nearby Florida, the island of Cuba, even Mexico, and other parts of South America.

Personally, I like the South Carolina state flag, for various reasons. It displays beautifully from aluminum flag poles even in the slightest amount of wind. Manufacturers produce the flag from good materials, including nylon and polyester using the correct design of this historical flag.
