Flagpole History and Let You Know More About Flagpole

Flagpoles started out as simple wooden poles. They began popping up all over the world to display different territories, countries, and military locations. In the beginning, flagpoles were as simple as a tree with a flag tied to the top branch, but as time went on, more and more people decided to make their flagpoles more elaborate as a sign of respect. Woodworkers began treating, sanding, and polishing the wood to make it look more prestigious. Later, during the Industrial Revolution, people stopped using wood and started using steel to make flagpoles stronger. Another major change that took place at that time was the invention of segmented construction – this made flagpoles stronger and more flexible, and flags could fly at different heights. Another period that drove innovation in flagpoles was around World War II. The use of flagpoles skyrocketed due to the invention of using metals in different fields (like weapons, ships, airplanes, etc.), as well as a strong nationalistic mindset. Manufacturers began using alloys and different techniques to make their products better than before. Today, flagpoles come in all shapes and sizes, with different colors and decorations, and are still in high demand.

For example, the American eagle head flagpole, the flagpole head shape with Islamic architectural features in the Middle East, the moon and star style flagpole in Turkey, the Canadian maple leaf flagpole, etc. The colors are mainly gold and silver, and some black and white custom colors have also appeared in the recent market.
