The
first distinctive Norwegian flag was created in 1814 while the
country was under Swedish rule. It was based on the red Danish
flag with its white cross. In 1821 the Norwegian parliament
developed the current flag design. From 1844 to 1899, six years
before independence, the official flag included a symbol of
Swedish-Norwegian union. |
