Everything You Never Knew You Wanted To Know
About Our Great State!

Our State Motto is "Qui Transtulit Sustinet"
which means "He Who Transplanted Still Sustains."
The origin of the motto is not certain; however, a former State Librarian, Charles J. Hoadly, suggested Psalm 80 as a possible source

"Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it."
~ Psalm 80:8
