New Bern was settled in 1710 by Swiss and Palatine immigrants led by Christoph von Graffenried. They named the settlement after Bern, the capital of Switzerland. New Bern Black Bear Shield Red/Yellow magnet is a durable, matte finish magnet for metal surface -- our creative version of the New Bern city flag. This is also the city flag of Bern, Switzerland. Designed by our staff in New Bern, NC. The Bear bear is 3 inches wide and 4.6 inches tall. This makes a great gift for dad or a gift for mom and a perfect refrigerator magnet or a bumper magnet. This is the perfect travel trinket. Help us promote our small, charming town, put a sticker on it.
