More than two centuries after the Flag Act of 1777 banished Britain’s Union Jack from American flags, one state’s official flag still carries a shoutout to the king. Check out the Hawaiian flag: eight alternating red, white, and blue stripes (symbolizing the eight major islands of Hawaii) framing a Union jack in the top left corner.
The history of the flag is uncertain, but likely stems from a friendly meeting between one of King George III’s envoys and Hawaii’s King Kamehameha in the 1790s, long before America annexed the islands 100 years later.
