Maine's official flag was adopted in 1909. It has a deep blue field with the state coat of arms in the center. The coat of arms pictures a farmer and a seaman (representing agricultural and maritime industries). A shield is between them, upon which is a pine tree, a moose (the state animal of Maine), green grass, a blue sky, and deep blue water. Above this is a yellow star (representing the North Star – Maine was the northernmost state when it entered the Union) and a red ribbon that reads Dirigo. A large blue ribbon reads Maine.

Capital: Augusta

Nickname: Pine Tree State
