The Background is a rich blue. (Blue Skies of Key West),centered with a pink Conch shell (Natives) on a yellow Sun with a flaming corolla .(Sun always shines in Key West).
Two constellations of stars are also part of the make up. In the upper right hand corner is the date 1828, when the city of Key West and Monroe County incorporated, and the six stars of the constellation Cygnus, the swan. also called the Northern Cross.
The Northern Cross was chosen because it is well recognized sky guise, shining where the Milky Way splits is to parallel streams.
In the lower left hand corner of the flag are four more Stars,the constellation of the Southern Cross. It can be seen from Key West at certain times of the year and is located 60 degrees south. It is six degrees long and points to the South Pole.
Because the cross as a symbol is used by
may religious organizations, both the Northern and Southern crosses on the flag
is to acknowledge thankfulness to our maker for the many blessings bestowed upon
this island
