Continental Congress Flag for the Fourth Capital of the United States - York, Pennsylvania

On September 30, 1777 unto June 27, 1778 York, Pennsylvania served as the fourth capital of the United States of America.  It was in York, PA where the first program of American Gov 1.0 was written under the Articles of Confederation.  This grand document ran the country for about decade until 1788, when a reboot was in order.

The heritage flag of York's cameo as America's Capital City takes its design from the official flag of Washington DC.  However the colours stem from the original White Rose of the House of York in England with its blue background.  Coincidentally George Washington's ancestors originally came from "Old York, England."  As fate would have it George Washington was "crowned" as the first president in"New York, America."
