I think it's somebody's birthplace, but I can't guess who... ???

Ha. Y'know, that was my first thought, also.
But, no, George was born in the Colonies (Virginia).

Can't be. The stars and stripes wouldn't make sense and I believe his house has a plaque. Not that there is any solid evidence to prove he came from there at all.

My guess is it's the birthplace of a founding father.
