HISTORY
Introduced in 1850
Officially approved May 20, 1902
The flag of Cuba was designed by
a Cuban poet Teurbe Tolon in 1849 and was patterned on the design of the Stars
and Stripes. The star, called La Estrella Solitaria (The Lone Star), was
selected to light the way towards freedom and was taken from the flag of Texas.
In time, the Cuban flag itself began to be known as La Estrella Solitaria. The
flag was hoisted for the first time on May 19, 1850 in Cardenas on the north
cast of Cuba where General Francisco Lopez landed with 600 men and staged an
abortive attempt to free the country from colonial rule.
The triangle is a Masonic symbol
of liberty, equality and fraternity, and the three blue stripes stand for the
three sectors into which Cuba was divided by the Spaniards. The white stands
for the pure intentions of the revolutionaries and for justice; the red is for
the blood that was shed in the struggle for independence
