Flag History and Symbolism
Following a public contest, artist Al Nichols’ design was adopted in 1989 as the City of Durham's official flag. The flag was intended to communicate the “new spirit” of Durham. The City of Durham flag colors represent the Durham community's shared core values:
Blue: Courage
Red: Action & Progress
Gold: High Quality In All Growth
White: High Ideals
The seven white stars on the flag represent a group of stars called The Pleiades or the "seven stars" found in the Taurus constellation. The Taurus (Latin for "The Bull") time period (April 20-May 21) includes Durham's April 26 birthday. The stars reflect Durham's spirit and story:
Arts
Commerce & Industry
Education
Medicine
Human Relations
Sports & Recreation
Preservation of Our Rich Heritage
City of Durham History
From its early roots as a tobacco town, home to the Bull Durham Tobacco Company, Durham has evolved into a national center of medical technology, performing arts, higher education, and cultural events. Durham, known as the "Bull City" and "City of Medicine", continues to evolve. We want to assist you in beautifying and calling attention to this great city.
