This article is about the flag of a special municipality of the Netherlands. For the flag of the Malaysian state, see Flag of Sabah.
National flag of Saba
The flag of Saba (Dutch: vlag van Saba) was adopted on 6 December 1985 (national day of the island). 130 different designs were presented to the commission. The chosen flag was designed by an 18-year-old Saban named Edmond Daniel Johnson.[1]
Saba accepted Dutch sovereignty after 1816 and used the Dutch flag. However, since some islanders considered Saba a "republic", they added a special symbol – a green cabbage — to emphasize their independence, and this symbol was used probably until about the 1920s.[1]
