Tonga is the South Pacific’s only remaining Kingdom. It is made up of 176 islands, most of which are uninhabited. The country became known as the “Friendly Islands” because of the warm welcome and hospitality given to Captain James Cook on his first visit to them in 1773. The Tonga flag is a red field, with a red cross on a white square field in the upper left corner. The cross is symbolic of the deep-rooted Christianity of the country. The red is the blood of Christ, and white is for purity. Measuring at 2 x 3 feet, our pure nylon Tonga flag is durable and comes with a white header finishing and grommets.
