The flag of Jamestown, North Carolina, is a blue background with a white vertical shape of a railroad track, and a green diamond in the center.
Symbolism[]
The blue represents strength and security in color psychology, and its' background is the foundation on which the rest of the flag is built. The green diamond represents schools, its' color in psychology represents growth and knowledge seeking, and its' shape, the diamond is strong and unbreaking. The white railroad track represents both the literal railroad built in 1856 that bisects Jamestown and the underground railroad in which Jamestown was a known stop before heading north. The four vertical lines represent not only railroad tracks, but are also a nod to the iconic four columns of the Jamestown Public Library building.
The committee, which helped the city gain a new flag, would also like to mention that the diamond is a slight acknowledgment to the Ragsdale High School diamond, whether intentional or not. Additionally, the green color highlights the abundance of oak trees and other greenery that make Jamestown beautiful, especially in residential neighborhoods.[1]
