The flag was adopted in 1694 after the county received a Royal Warrant from King William III of England to use the Union Jack as its flag. That flag was later adopted by the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707.[1] HistorySomerset County was founded in the Province of Maryland in 1666 and was named after Mary Somerset, the sister-in-law of Cecil Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore.[1] The county did not have a flag initially. In 1693, Charles Calvert, 3rd Baron Baltimore, commissioned the creation and design of a flag for the county.[2][3] The following year, King William III of England granted Somerset County a Royal Warrant to use the "King's Colours" as their county flag.[4] The King's Colours became the flag of Great Britain in 1707 but the Kings of England had used it as a personal flag to symbolise the personal Union of the Crowns of England and Scotland.[4] The Indian in the center represented the local Native Americans who had a large number of settlements in the Somerset County area.[5][6]On the year of the flag's adoption, the colonists in Somerset County started to use it as a naval ensign.[5] In the following years, it appears that the flag fell into disuse. In 1958, members of the Olde Princess Anne Days Committee and some Somerset County Commissioners discovered a facsimile of the flag in the house of Joshua Miles, who permitted a reproduction to be created.[5] Later, in the 1990s, the flag inspired the design of the flag of the University of Maryland as the Eastern Shore campus was located in Somerset County.[7] References1. ^{{cite book | first =John | last =Jacob | title =Somerset County in Vintage Postcards | publisher = Arcadia Publishing | volume = | year = 2001 | isbn = 0738513725 |chapter=Introduction | page = 7}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.csctimes.com/somerset-county/somerset-county-planning-to-mark-350th-year-in-2016/ |title=Somerset County planning to mark 350th year in 2016 |publisher=County Times |date=2016-01-05 |accessdate=2019-01-05}} 3. ^{{cite book | first =Jason | last =Rhodes | title =Somerset County | publisher = Arcadia Publishing | volume = | year = 2012 | isbn = 0738592277 | page = 1}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite book | first =Raphael | last =Semmes | title =Captains and Mariners of Early Maryland | publisher = Arno Press | volume = | year = 1979 | isbn = 0405106262 | page = 772}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite paper|url=http://www.visitsomerset.com/printables/SomersetCountyFlag.pdf |title=Somerset County Flag |publisher=Visit Somerset |date= |accessdate=2019-01-05}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.bayjournal.com/article/hush_hush_no_more_accohannocks_take_their_history_out_of_hiding |title=Accohannocks take their history out of hiding |publisher=Bay Journal |date=2015-07-01 |accessdate=2019-01-05}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.umes.edu/125/Content/Stories/The-University-Flag/ |title=The University Flag |publisher=University of Maryland |date=2017-06-27 |accessdate=2019-01-05}} 4 : Flags of Maryland|1694 in the British Empire|1694 in Maryland|Somerset County, Maryland |
