The origin of the Polish national colours was established by a law passed by the Polish Kingdom's Sejm in 1831. It stated that the national cockade would be composed of the colours on the coat of arms used by the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, that is red and white.
In the early history of Poland, flags were red with an embroidered white eagle. Later, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth had a three-striped flag with a red stripe on the top and bottom and a white stripe in the middle. In the 18th century, the flag became an important symbol of national identity.
The colors are derived from the Polish emblem - a white eagle on a red background. This emblem dates back to the Middle Ages, and although the eagle was removed from the flag, white and red became the traditional colors of Poles.
