The Fleur-de-lis "flower of the lily"

The Fleur-de-lis flag has long been flown by the French, as the Fleur-de-lis bears ancient significance in French Heraldry as a symbol of purity, flowers and lily's. In the sixteenth and seventeenth century the French explorers carried it in as they lead expeditions across North America. In 1564 the French established a settlement for one year near Jacksonville Florida at the mouth of the St. Johns River. During this period there was no single official flag for Florida.

The three golden Fleur-de-lis on the blue field evolved from the original "Lily Flower", tripled by King Charles V in honor of the Holy Trinity.
