Facts, history and meaning about the flag of Maine

Maine is a state in the northeastern region of the United States, bordered by New Hampshire to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and Canada to the north and northeast. The state's flag, like many others, is rich in symbolism and tells the story of Maine's history and culture.

The flag is dominated by a coat of arms depicting a tranquil seaside scene, with a large moose resting beneath a tall white pine tree. The pine tree is representative of Maine's extensive timber resources, while the moose symbolizes the state's wildlife. The blue sky and calm ocean waters in the background evoke the state's serene coastal environment.

Above the coat of arms is a stylized representation of the North Star, which serves as a nod to Maine's status as the northernmost state in New England. The North Star is also a symbol of guidance, and reflects the state's motto, "Dirigo," which means "I direct" or "I guide" in Latin.

The flag's white field represents purity, and the green and blue elements symbolize the state's forests and waterways, respectively. Overall, the Maine state flag is a beautiful and meaningful representation of the state's natural beauty, resources, and cultural heritage.
