Zeljko Heimer, 8 March 1996
Flag adopted 4 July 1976.

It seems that the flag was changed some time in 1994 or early 1995. Gerard van der Vaart told me that Mr. Smith shows a color copy he obtained from the American factory which produces the flag for the Northern Marianas administration. In practice the flag is made by this factory in proportions 2:3 and 3:5. It seems that there was an intermediate version of the flag with a bit different wreath.

Dorling Kindersley Pocket Book says:
"The original flag was adopted in 1972, but has undergone several modifications, including the addition of the flower wreath."Smith (1980) says "Officially adopted 31 March 1972" and shows the first design (without wreath).
The district adopted the flag on 31 March 1972; the territory adopted the flag on 4 July 1976 (same flag), and modified the design in 1981.
