GRENADA - Grenada’s national flag was created for its independence from Britain in 1974. This Caribbean flag is rectangular with a diagonally divided background of green representing its vegetation, and yellow for wisdom and the sun. These triangles have a red border as a symbol of harmony and unity. The seven yellow stars represent theisland’s original administrative divisions. The nutmeg at its hoist triangle is symbolic of Grenada’s primary export which explains its nickname — the Spice Island.
