Romania Flag History

By Ann Kent


The earliest inhabitants of Romania were stone age hunters who lived about 8,000 BC. In time the people of Romania learned to farm and then they learned to make bronze tools. Eventually, they learned to use iron. From about 600 BC the ancient Greeks traded with the people they called Getae. They founded settlements on the coast of Romania.

Each color has actually specific connotations. The colors signify the two princedoms of Moldavia and Walachia that are united in 1859 to finally establish Romania. Blue, red, and yellow can also be found the coat of arms of these provinces, which is why they are included on the official flag of Romania.

The revolutions that swept Europe in 1848 first produced the modern Romanian tricolor, blue-yellow-red, although it had horizontal stripes and the inscription “Justice” in Walachian and “Brotherhood” in Moldavian in the center. This flag was used only briefly, but it became the basis for the modern tricolor.

In 1848, a horizontal stripe version of these colors was introduced by Romanian nationalists and this version had been used as the country’s original flag during that time. The original version of the flag was presented with red on its top, yellow on the middle and blue at the bottom. But because of the influence of the French flag, the Romanian flag was changed into a vertical design in 1867.

There are four countries that use a blue-yellow-red vertical striped flag. They are Moldova, Andorra, Chad, and Romania. The Moldovan flag is distinguished by the addition of a coat of arms, but the colors are related to and similarly derived from those of the Romanian flag. The flag of Chad is almost identical to Romania's flag.

There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Romania flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Some flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Romania future.
