The History of the Idaho State Flag


The Idaho state flag, adopted in 1907, proudly displays the state's seal on a deep blue field. The state seal, designed by Emma Edwards Green, is rich with symbolism. It features a miner and a woman, representing equality, liberty, and justice. Other elements include a pine tree, a sheaf of wheat, and the state motto, "Esto Perpetua," meaning "Let it be perpetual."

Beneath the seal, a banner reads "State of Idaho." The flag's design reflects Idaho's natural resources, agricultural heritage, and commitment to equality.
