Slovakia flag in its current form (but with another coat of arms on it or without any arms) can be dated back to the revolutionary year 1848 ( The Revolutions of 1848 in the Habsburg areas). It was also used semi-officially in Czechoslovakia before World War II, by the Slovak Republic during WWII, and finally adopted (without the coat of arms) on 1 March 1990 as the flag of the Slovak Republic within Czechoslovakia as its mentioned in Slovakia flag map. The coat of arms was added on 3 September 1992 and a special law describing the details of the flag followed in February 1993.

The blue triangle in the current flag of the Czech Republic, with which Slovakia formed Czechoslovakia up to the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, was taken over from the blue strip of Slovakia flag in 1920 into the flag of Czechoslovakia as its shown in Slovakia flag map. The flag of Czechoslovakia was taken over by the Czech Republic in late 1992 in direct violation of the 1992 Act on the Division of Czechoslovakia explicitly forbidding state symbols to be used by the two successor states.

Since the Slovak flag without the coat of arms is identical to that of the modern flag of Russia and it can also be compared to the modern flag of Slovenia, the Constitution of Slovakia added the national coat of arms in September 1992. The patriarchal cross of the flag was inspired from Hungary coat of arms, which is composed by this same cross and the three mountains. This symbol was used by the Kings of the House of Arpad in the Medieval Times, and it continued as part of the royal coat of arms from the 13th century on (see Slovakia flag map).
