Connecticut's state flag design originates from the seal of Saybrook Colony which was established in 1639. The seal featured 15 grapevines and a scroll that read "Sustinet qui transtulit". When Saybrook was purchased in 1644 by the Connecticut Colony they acquired rights to the seal. They rearranged the position and wording of the motto, now "Qui Transtulit Sustinet ("He who transplanted, sustains"). They also included only 3 grapevines, instead of 15, on the flag (most likely to represent the original 3 colonies of New Haven, Saybrook and Connecticut/Hartford. It was designated the official state flag by the Connecticut General Assembly in 1897.
