==== New Netherland (United States) ==== The orange-white-blue [[Prince's Flag]] directly inspired historical and modern day flags in the former Dutch colony of [[New Netherland]] in what is today the [[East Coast of the United States]]. The colony of New Netherland used the [[Statenvlag]] of the [[Dutch Republic]], and was one of the territories under control of the [[Dutch West India Company]]. The flag of [[New York City]], originally called [[New Amsterdam]], was designed after the Prince's Flag. Furthermore, the flags of other counties, cities, and institutions in this region are designed after the Prince's Flag, such as [[Albany, New York|Albany]] (originally [[Beverwijck]]), [[Schenectady County, New York]], and [[Jersey City, New Jersey|Jersey City]]. <gallery class="center"> File:Flag of Schenectady County, New York.svg|Flag of [[Schenectady County]] File:Flag of Albany, New York.svg|Flag of [[Albany, New York]] File:Flag of The Bronx.svg|Flag of [[The Bronx]] File:Flag of Ulster County, New York.png|Flag of [[Ulster County, New York]] File:Flag of New York City.svg|[[Flag of New York City]] File:Flag of the Borough of Manhattan.svg|Flag of [[Manhattan]] File:Flag of the Mayor of New York City.svg|Flag of the [[mayor of New York City]] File:Flag of Jersey City.png|Flag of [[Jersey City, New Jersey]] File:Flag of Westchester County, New York.png|Flag of [[Westchester County, New York]] File:Flag of Nassau County, New York.svg|Flag of [[Nassau County, New York]] File:Flag of Sussex County, Delaware.gif|Flag of [[Sussex County, Delaware]] File:Hu flag 1.png|Flag of [[Hofstra University]] File:Flag of Brooklyn, New York.svg|Flag of [[Brooklyn|Brooklyn, New York]].
