Before Christopher Columbus arrived, the indigenous TaÃnos (meaning 'Friendly People') lived on the island now known as Hispaniola. TaÃnos gave the world sweet potatoes, peanuts, guava, pineapple, and tobacco - even the word 'tobacco' is TaÃno in origin. Yet the TaÃnos themselves were wiped out by Spanish diseases and slavery. Of the 400, 000 TaÃnos that lived on Hispaniola at the time of European arrival, fewer than 1000 were still alive 30 years later. None exists today.
The upheaval of 1843 year gives Santo Domingo the chance to throw off the yoke of Haiti. The eastern half of the island proclaims its independence, as the Dominican Republic, in 1844. Hispaniola, the oldest European colony in the western hemisphere, becomes also the first region to be free.
The flag of the Dominican Republic was officially accepted on November 6th, 1844. As described in Article 96 of the Dominican Constitution, features a centered white cross that extends to the edges and divides the flag into four rectangles-the top ones are blue (hoist side) and red, and the bottom ones are red (hoist side) and blue. The actual colors are ultramarine blue and vermilion red in alternate. The original colors are derived from the colors of the Haitian flag.
The first Dominican Republic flag was created by Ms. Maria Trinidad Sanchez and Ms. Concepcion Bona, It flew for the first time on the day of Dominican independence, February 27, 1844, and it was a bit different, featuring the top two quadrants blue and the bottom two red, it wasn't until 1908 that the alternating colors came to be, it also did not have the shield shown in the picture here in the middle.
The "emblem" or shield is in the center of the banner. This seal is like the banner outline and demonstrates a book of scriptures, a cross of gold, 4 Dominican banners and two lanes on an example from the banner. There are branches of olive and palm around the shield or more on a strip is the maxim "Dios, Patria, Libertad" signifying "God, Fatherland, Liberty". Underneath the shield is the name of the nation "República Dominicana" shows up on a red strip.
In the center of the shield, flanked by three lances on every side, is a Bible with a little cross above it and said to be opened to the Gospel of John, either to part one or section 8, verse 32, which peruses Y la Verdad nos hará libre. The Flag Company Inc spent significant time in banner plans offered an extraordinary version of decals and banners to retain the historical backdrop of Dominican Flag for the future generations.
