The New Yornecticut Flag - The Connecticut-New York Heritage Flag

New York is known for putting on the squeeze on New Jersey to give up its northern feather of territory, likewise Big New York put the squeeze on Connecticut to give up its western claims and all of Long Island.  I mean like come on, Connecticut lost all the isles on Long Island Sound.  Nutmegers even established some colonies on Long Island.  New York got a big slice of the mainland and all of the isles in Nutmegger Bay.  But New York took it all, I guess it is the Empire State after all.

So no matter, the New Yornecticut Flag is a heritage flag that can be flown over the parts of New York that were nearly a part of Connecticut.  Instead of three grape vines there are three red apples.  Also the background is green and Connecticut's motto is translated into Dutch.  It reads, "De Goddelijke Kract Transplaneert Onderseunt."  Which means that God transplants and sustains.

So when you eat an big apple in the area, be sure to sprinkle it with just tiny bit of Nutmeg.
