GRENADA

The national flag of Grenada was adopted upon independence from the United Kingdom, 7 February 1974. The six stars in the red border stand for the country's six parishes, with the middle star, encircled by a red disk, standing for the capital, Saint George's. The symbol in the fly represents a clove of nutmeg, one of the principal crops of Grenada. The colour combination of red, gold, and green, in the flag is representative of the country's African identity.
