The current flag of Prince George's County, Maryland, was adopted in 1963, replacing one that had been in use since 1696.[2] It is a 3 parts tall by 5 parts wide white field with a red St. George's cross centered atop it, with the seal of Prince George's County defacing the canton.[1] Though official regulation states that the flag use the former county seal that was used from 1958 to 1971,[1] in practice most flags that are manufactured and used by the county government itself use the current county seal, which was introduced in 1971.[3]
The official County flag shall be a three (3) feet by five (5) feet flag of white, divided in equal quadrants by four (4) inch stripes of red and containing in its upper left quadrant the official seal of the County as adopted by the Board of Commissioners on November 25, 1958. (Ord. and Res. 1967, Sec. 1-6)
