Flagpole History Today

By Ben Rowlands


During the Middle Ages, flags were used for a variety of purposes including identification of members of nobility, guilds, cities, religious worship, and for use during battles. In battle, flags were used by military companies for identification on the field and relaying of strategic instructions.

Life is all about memories and achievements; the more you have them, the more beautiful life becomes. As human beings, we have values and symbols that we stand for. We not only want to be associated with them, but we also like to share our associations with other people around us. Through various objects, we express our allegiances to our country, institutions, and societies.

A flag is one of those objects that we enjoy being associated with. They articulate the values that we believe in. Flagpoles are installed with the intention of evoking emotions from the observer. The might and confidence a flag radiates from its flagpole are similar to the characteristics an individual or organization wants to project regarding their own identity.

Banners have rich histories. The banner posts or as we call them flagpoles, on which they fly have a history which offers looks into changes in innovation and society. Early banner shafts were just trees chose for their relative straightness that was chopped down, stripped of bark and branches, and after that replanted in the ground with a banner joined at the top.

Early banner shafts were just trees chose for their relative straightness that was chopped down, stripped of bark and branches, and after that replanted in the ground with a banner joined at the top. More refined wooden posts were made with spruce or pine trees, which normally become straighter than hardwood trees. These trees were stripped of bark and branches and after that completely smoothed down with draw blades and planes. Early flagpoles were secured with numerous layers of creature fat to make them weatherproof before being planted in the ground. Since the posts were planted straightforwardly in the earth, they tended to decay at the base. Still, very much built wooden posts were excellent antiques that could stay practical for upwards of 50 years.

There is a barrage of cheap and Flagpoles being imported and sold, that do not comply with the statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flagpoles are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flagpoles made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flags and flagpoles designs offered a special edition of flagpoles to comfort your environment with the genius American brand flagpoles that stay for centuries to memorize the history of flagpole production for the future.
