Flag of Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Flag of Baton Rouge, Louisiana

The Flag of Baton Rouge has a field of crimson representing the great Indian Nations that once inhabited the area. The crest on the lower left uses the red, white and blue, representing the colors of the United States. The upper left of the shield is the fleur-de-lis of France, the upper right is the Castile of Spain, and the lower potion is the Union Jack of Great Britain. The crest encompasses the emblems of the three foreign countries, whose flags have flown over Baton Rouge. The name "Baton Rouge" in white appears prominently on the field of crimson.
