Little is known of the small African kingdoms in the region between the Tano and Volta rivers until the arrival of Europeans in the 15th century. Portuguese navigators, working their way down the west African coast, reach this area in 1471 and build a fortress at Elmina in 1482. But others follow fast. As early as 1492 a French buccaneer, marauding off the coast, deprives a Portuguese ship of its precious cargo.
Several major civilizations flourished in the general region of what is now Ghana. The ancient empire of Ghana (located 500 mi northwest of the contemporary state) reigned until the 13th century. The Akan peoples established the next major civilization, beginning in the 13th century, and then the Ashanti empire flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Ghana became the first sub-Saharan African country to gain its independence in 1957. Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, who was responsible for the successful negotiations with the British and declared independence, became the first Prime Minister and then President of Ghana.
The current version of the flag of the Republic of Ghana was adopted on February 28, 1966. The flag was designed by Mrs. Theodosia Salome Okoh and was first adopted on March 6, 1957, following the country's independence from the British rule. The flag underwent a few alterations; between 1964 and 1966 when the middle gold stripe was replaced by a white one.
The banner of the Republic of Ghana has three flat stripes: red, gold, and green. The hues used as a part of the banner are the Pan-African hues. Red speaks of the progressive soul in their battle for independence; gold symbolizes the wealth of minerals found in this country; and green speaks of the lavish greenery, common assets, and the backwoods of Ghana.
The center stripe includes a five-pointed dark star that stands for the liberation of the country and the solidarity showed by the comrades in their battle against the expansionism. The star was acquired from the banner of a delivery line called Black Star Line. Flag Company Inc decided to assist with the history development by providing special decals and banners to make it easy to build a bit of Ghana Flag history right at home.
