North Carolina (NC) State Flag
The 12th state, admitted 1789
The first date on the North Carolina flag is supposedly that of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, which was named after Mecklenburg County, where citizens supposedly met to declare the county's independence from Great Britain. The lower date commemorates the adoption of the Halifax Resolves, which called for the people of North Carolina to declare independence.
