Current flag (2017-present)[]
The flag of Vermont consists of three colors, dark blue, gold, and green. The blue is meant to represent the sky. In the sky are 14 stars in a circular pattern. Each star is meant to represent one of the 14 counties of Vermont. Along with representing unity in the state. the 14 stars also represent Vermont being the 14th state to join the union. The circular pattern is meant to represent the golden dome of the state capital. underneath the stars are 5 rolling hills. These are meant to represent the Green mountains of Vermont, as well as being a callback to the previous flag.
First flag (2000-2017)[]
The first flag of Montpelier has a white field with a rectangular box outlined with a narrow black line. The field is approximately four times wider at the sides of the box than at the top and bottom. Within the rectangle is MONTPELIER inscribed across the top in yellow outlined in black; the “M” larger than the other letters. Below, in much smaller black letters, is CHARTERED IN 1781. A double line in yellow and black underlines this inscription. In the lower half of the rectangle is a representation of the city. To the left is a dark green mountain and to the right is a medium green mountain. A wavy light blue stripe flows across the lower part of the rectangle at the base of these two mountains. Below the blue stripe and filling the bottom of the rectangle is another dark green area. On the left mountain, toward the hoist of the flag, is a white church with two windows, a door, and a window in the steeple, all in dark green; to its right is a representation of the statehouse in white with its yellow dome. To the right of the statehouse are three white small rectangles, one immediately to the right of the dome, the second one to its right and above, and the third, further to the right and below the first one.
