What the Colors Mean
Flag History
Hoisted at independence on 27 April 1961, replacing the British colonial ensign. The tricolour distils the national coat of arms drawn up by the College of Arms in London the year before, whose lion recalls the country's name — from the Portuguese 'Serra Lyoa', the Lion Mountains.
✨ Did you know?
The blue stripe carries a wish written into the flag's official symbolism: that Freetown's harbour — one of the largest natural harbours in the world — would help bring peace to the world through trade.
