I have a special interesting in the Liberian flag. Liberia, for example, is a state located in Africa. The "American Colonization Society" very first settled it back in the 1800's. The country was in fact established to provide a new home for freed slaves, interestingly, who wished to return back to Africa from different other parts of the world.
1847 was an important year to today's Liberian republic. It was then that independence was granted to the young nation. From that day and onwards, this republic has flown the Liberian flag from Liberian flag poles proudly. The republic's ensign is very similar to the United States national banner. The difference includes the number of horizontal stripes (11 instead of 13) and the featuring of one 5-pointed star in the upper left portion of the flag. The use of colors is very much similar.
As I was told, the white star on the blue field represents the country's independence. Back in the day, it was the very first independence republic in (western) Africa. Ever since, the national ensign has served of a reminder of such to folks around the world. Displayed from Liberian flag poles in and out of Liberia, this flag displays beautifully.
Neighboring Sierra Leone flies an ensign from flagpoles that is very much different. This flag was flown for the very first time on the day the country was declared independent, on April 27, 1961. Unlike the Liberian flag, this ensign is a tricolor that features the colored green, white and blue. Tricolors type ensigns are a popular flag-design used by countries around the world today, including a good number of European republics.
As aforementioned, this republic is located in the western part of Africa, and borders the North Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately, the country has one of the poorest economies in the world, with about fifteen percent in Liberian folks being unemployed.
Counting nearly three and a half million people in '08, most of these folks lived in Montserrado County, which is also home to the country's capital of Monrovia. Different industries have brought income to Liberians and include rubber plantations and offshore oil. The maritime industry has also provided the republic with additional economic support.
The national flag became recognized as such back in 1847. In or during the years before independence was granted to Liberia, a similar flag-design was maintained that featured a white cross instead of a white star, in the canton of the ensign. The cross was exchanged for the star during the events of 1847. Ever since the national ensign of the republic has remained unchanged. The Liberian flag for use with residential flagpoles is commonly made for sale by resellers throughout the nation.

A flagpole that is made from Aluminum is corrosion resistant because the material generates a protective oxide coating, making it very resistant. This attribute can even be more increased by applying special surface treatments or finishes to flagpoles, such as anodizing and painting.
