Last, but not least, Staten Island, or Richmond County, has another very distinctive flag. The flag is white with a center oval that has a blue sky, and a green mountain with a white city silhouette landscape. At the bottom of the oval, there are several white and blue stripes resembling waves. It also has the words “Staten Island” in the emblem. The flag was chosen in a contest in 1971, but not adopted officially until 2002.
