States, territories, and Washington, DC's (Washington, DC) flags fly proudly over the National Mall in Washington, DC. C ) are characterized by a wide range of stylistic choices, underlying tenets, and regional influences Modern U S Beginning at the turn of the century, when states were thinking of unique symbols to display at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, flags were adopted. 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. New laws in Utah (effective 2018-2021) and Massachusetts (effective 2020-21) have kicked off the flag-redesign processes in those states.

Vexillologists continue to criticize the fact that the majority of state flags follow the same design pattern, which consists of the state seal superimposed on a monochrome background, commonly a shade of blue. The North American Vexillological Association voted New Mexico's flag the best-designed in the United States in 2001. S state, U S territory, or Canadian province, and the worst was Georgia's (since redesigned) state flag. [2]

Notes [ edit ]

^ The modern form has been in use since 1965.
^ Adoption of the Currently Used Form in 2020
^ The 1879 version was the prototype for the modern one, which was adopted in 1933.
^ a b c The current flag of Utah was officially adopted in 1913, after being slightly altered from an earlier design that had been used unofficially since 1903. However, flags in use generally remained true to the 1903 design until 1922. It was found in 1985 that the de facto standard in place after 1922 did not correspond to the 1913 definition, and this discrepancy persisted until 2011 when the legislature reaffirmed its 1913 definition and requested that flag manufacturers adhere to it.
