**Flag History and Design**
The design of the Connecticut flag is rooted in the seal of Saybrook Colony, established in 1639. The original seal depicted 15 grapevines and a hand in the upper left corner with a scroll reading “Sustinet qui transtulit.” When Connecticut Colony acquired Saybrook in 1644, the seal was transferred to them. On October 25, 1711, the governor and legislature made changes to the seal.
