The flag of Utah consists of the Seal of Utah encircled in a golden ring on a field of dark blue. The current design was adopted on February 16, 2011, and it is the latest in a series of designs that have represented the state since its admission to the United States in 1896.
History[edit | edit source]
The first flag of Utah was created in 1903 by the Daughters of the American Revolution for the battleship USS Utah (BB-31). This flag featured the state seal on a blue background. In 1913, the design was officially adopted by the state legislature, but with a slight modification: the addition of a gold ring around the seal.
In 1922, a new design was introduced, which included the year "1847" to commemorate the arrival of the Mormon pioneers in the Salt Lake Valley. This design remained in use until 2011, when the current flag was adopted to correct inaccuracies in the previous design and to standardize the flag's appearance.
Design[edit | edit source]
The flag's design features the Seal of Utah, which includes a beehive, the state emblem symbolizing industry, and two bald eagles, representing protection in peace and war. The seal also includes the state motto, "Industry," and the year "1847," marking the arrival of the Mormon pioneers. The year "1896" is also present, signifying Utah's admission to the Union.
Symbolism[edit | edit source]
- The beehive represents industry and the pioneer virtues of thrift and perseverance.
- The bald eagles symbolize protection in peace and war.
- The sego lily, the state flower, represents peace.
- The American flag within the seal signifies Utah's support and loyalty to the United States.
- The year "1847" commemorates the arrival of the Mormon pioneers.
- The year "1896" marks Utah's statehood.
