JASPER COUNTY FLAG

  • 1
    On June 12, 1976, during a Flag Day celebration sponsored by the Newton Woman’s Club, the Jasper County Flag, original in design and worked in needlepoint by the Woman’s Bicentennial Committee members was presented on behalf of the club to the citizens of Jasper County as a symbol of our County’s being the oldest recorded spot in the United States for this rare bird the “Prairie Chicken.” It was accepted as the county’s official flag. Jasper County has a unique flag that features needlepoint work. This is a one-of-a-kind flag however because it is in needlepoint it is hard to reproduce.

    Jasper County was named for Sergeant William Jasper who distinguished himself in the defense of Fort Moultrie (then called Fort Sullivan) on June 28, 1776. When a shell from a British Warship shot away the flagstaff, he recovered the South Carolina flag in the Battle of Sullivan’s Island, raised it on a temporary staff, and held it under fire until a new staff was installed. Governor John Rutledge gave his sword to Jasper in recognition of his bravery. This flag would honor the namesake of our County with the incorporation of the Moultrie Flag (also known as the Liberty Flag) the crescent moon and blue background is taken from that flag. We are all proud Americans, and this flag features the Great Seal of the United States. Instead of an olive branch and arrows, the talons are holding Corn and Wheat, reflecting our ag-dominated community. The eagle also symbolizes our School Mascot.

    The Blue at the bottom of the flag mirrors the likeness of a field as you look out, a symbol of the impact of agriculture within our community. In the center is the official Jasper County Seal, which is surrounded by a yellow and orange rope to pay homage to the original needlepoint design.
