Amelia Island Florida Visitor Guide 2017 - 24

EIGHT FLAGS, 1,000 STORIES
Amelia Island is the only place in America where eight different flags have
flown. Explore this colorful history (and impress people by being able to
name all eight in order).

FRENCH FLAG
1562-1564
French Huguenots led by explorer Jean Ribault were
the first Europeans to arrive. They established a shortlived settlement at the mouth of the St. Johns River
near what is now Jacksonville. The flag representing
this period is called the Blue Capetian Banner.

SPANISH FLAG
1565-1763 AND 1783-1821
Marked with an x-shaped cross to symbolize the
rough branches of the tree on which Saint André was
crucified, the Burgundian Saltire represented Spanish
rule in Florida. The island was mostly notable for
its missions in the first period, and, in the second,
became a thriving center for trade (and smuggling).

BRITISH FLAG
1763-1783
James Oglethorpe scouted the area and named the
island in honor of Princess Amelia, the daughter of
King George II. The red Cross of St. George, the
patron saint of England, combines with the white
Scottish Cross of St. Andrew to form the Union Flag.

PATRIOTS FLAG
1812
With secret U.S. blessings, the "Patriots of Amelia
Island" overthrew the Spanish and hoisted their own
flag on March 17th. They replaced it with the U.S.
flag the next day, but Spain demanded the island's
return. The Latin "Salus populi lex suprema" means
"The well-being of the people is the supreme law."
