The county flag has a white field and in the middle the Kent County seal. The
seal shows the Coat of Arms of William Penn
on a white circular background.
In 2008, the seal was modified. The silver coat of arms of William Penn is now
on a blue circle and the ring with the motto is now yellow.

Up to 2008 the base of the coat of arms was white and the ring was blue.

On a genealogy website, I found that Sussex County Delaware was claimed for a number of years by both Maryland and Pennsylvania. Delaware was initially settled by the Dutch and Swedes, but when the Duke of York took New York from the
Dutch, his agent captured Delaware in 1664. In 1682, Delaware was granted to William Penn along with Pennsylvania. Lord Baltimore disputed Penn's ownership of the three Delaware counties, and the southern and western areas of Sussex County were claimed by both Maryland and Pennsylvania, but were governed by Maryland until the Mason-Dixon Line was approved by George III in 1769; when all of Delaware was awarded to Pennsylvania. In 1769, Kent, New Castle, and Sussex counties met in Constitutional Convention and the State of Delaware was formed.
