The flag of Hartford, Connecticut, is a blue background with the city's seal in the center.
Symbolism[]
The city was named for Hertford, England, and the hart fording a stream is a symbolic play on the name “Hartford”. In the forefront is a grapevine, a reference to the state of Connecticut, of which Hartford is the capital, as the state seal bears three grapevines. The American eagle used in the crest was a popular motif in American seals in the 1800s (the city seal was adopted on 19 April 1852). The Latin motto Post Nubila Phoebus means “After the Clouds, the Sun”.[1]
2004 NAVA survey[]
The flag scored 2.94 / 119th out of 150 on the 2004 NAVA survey, behind Manchester, and ahead of Glendale.
