About the flag
The Kent Flag is a community flag proclaiming the unique identity of this historic English county.
This is the traditional flag of Kent, supposedly based on that of Horsa, the Jute. Horsa was the brother of Hengest, who founded the Kingdom of Kent in 449. The first recorded reference is in 1605.
