United States state and territory flags, as well as the flag of the District of Columbia (Washington, DC) C ) display a wide range of local flavor, historical context, aesthetic preferences, and construction methods Modern U S To commemorate the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois, many states began to think of unique symbols, which led to the creation of state flags. Most U S Between the years 1893 and 1914, state flags were created and adopted. [1]

As of today, the flag of the Northern Mariana Islands (a territory) was adopted on July 1, 1985, and the flag of the state of Mississippi (a territory) was adopted on January 11, 2021. In 1938, the District of Columbia officially adopted its flag. Both the state flag of Utah (2018-2021) and the state flag of Massachusetts (2020-21) will soon undergo a redesign as a result of recently passed legislation.

Although there is a wide range of flag styles, vexillologists continue to point out that many of the flags feature the state seal superimposed on a solid color background, most often blue. In 2001, the North American Vexillological Association conducted a survey to determine which U.S. state had the best-designed flag, and the results indicated that New Mexico had the most artistically pleasing design. S state, U S territory, or Canadian province; the flag of Georgia ranked last (though it has been updated since the survey was conducted). [2]

^ New version to be implemented in 2020
^ The 1879 version was replaced with the current one in 1933.
^ a b c By adjusting a definition from 1911, which altered a design from 1903, the current Utah flag was officially adopted in 1913. Flags, however, remained in use of the 1903 design until 1922. It was discovered in 1985 that the post-1922 de facto standard did not match the 1913 definition; this discrepancy persisted until 2011, when the legislature reaffirmed its 1913 definition and requested that flag manufacturers change to it.
