The History of the Georgia State Flag


The Georgia state flag, adopted in its current form in 2003, reflects the state's rich history and enduring principles. The flag features three horizontal stripes of red and white, reminiscent of the Confederate Stars and Bars. In the upper left corner, a blue field contains a circle of 13 white stars, symbolizing Georgia as one of the original 13 colonies.

At the center of the blue field is Georgia's state coat of arms, featuring an arch symbolizing the state's constitution, supported by three pillars representing the branches of government. Encircling the coat of arms is the state motto, "Wisdom, Justice, Moderation."

This design encapsulates Georgia's historical roots and its commitment to foundational principles. Understanding the elements of the Georgia flag deepens appreciation for the state's heritage and values.
