History
The flag of the Canton of Sankt Gallen dates to 1803, when the canton was created from eight former territories of the Helvetic Republic. Its white and light-green colors were adopted as symbols of a new political order, with green associated with revolution and freedom. The central fasces represents authority, justice, sovereignty, unity, and the joining of the canton’s original districts; later revisions altered the weapon form and small details, but the overall design remained the same.
