The 13 rays of red and gold on the
top half of the flag represent both the
13 original colonies of the Union, and
the rays of the Western setting sun.
Red and gold were also the colors
carried by Coronado's Spanish
expedition in search of the Seven
Cities of Cibola in 1540. The bottom
half of the flag has the same Liberty
blue as the United States flag. Since
Arizona was the largest producer of
copper in the nation, a copper star
was placed in the flag's center
Crimson St. Andrew's cross on a white
field, patterned after the Confederate
Battle Flag, and adopted in 1895. The
bars forming the cross must not be
less than six inches broad and must
extend diagonally across the flag from
side to side
Alaska adopted the flag for official
state use in 1959. The blue field
represents the sky, the sea, and
mountain lakes, as well as Alaska's
wildflowers. Emblazoned on the flag
are eight gold stars: seven from the
constellation Ursa Major, or the Big
Dipper. The eighth being the North
Star, representing the northern most
state. Alaska's flag was designed in
1926 by a 13-year-old Native American
boy, Bennie Benson, from the village
of Chignik. Bennie received a
1,000-dollar scholarship and a watch
for his winning entry in the flag design
contest
Historic Bear Flag raised at Sonoma
on June 14, 1846, by a group of
American settlers in revolt against
Mexican rule. The flag was designed
by William Todd on a piece of new
unbleached cotton. The star imitated
the lone star of Texas. A grizzly bear
represented the many bears seen in
the state. The word, "California
Republic" was placed beneath the star
and bear. It was adopted by the 1911
State Legislature as the State Flag.
A diamond on a red field represents
the only place in North America where
diamonds have been discovered and
mined. The twenty-five white stars
around the diamond mean that
Arkansas was the twenty-fifth state to
join the Union. The top of four stars in
the center represents that Arkansas
was a member of the Confederate
States during the Civil War. The other
three stars represent Spain, France
and the United States, countries that
had earlier ruled the land that includes
Arkansas
