What the Colors Mean
Flag History
In 1848 First Lady Pacífica Fernández, inspired by that year's revolution in France, added a broad red stripe to the old blue-and-white Central American colours to echo the French tricolour. The coat of arms on the state flag shows three volcanoes between the Caribbean and the Pacific, with seven stars for the provinces — the seventh added in 1964.

Costa Rica's flag is Thailand's flag with the colours reversed — and Costa Rica got there first, in 1848, nearly 70 years before Thailand's 1917 design.
