The Kansas state flag, adopted in 1927, symbolizes the state's rich history and natural beauty. The flag features a dark blue field with the state seal at its center. The seal depicts a landscape with a rising sun, representing the state's Native American heritage, and a farmer plowing a field, symbolizing Kansas's agricultural roots. Above the landscape, a wagon train heads west, representing the pioneers' spirit and the state's role in westward expansion.

At the top of the seal, the state motto "Ad Astra Per Aspera" (To the Stars Through Difficulties) is displayed, reflecting the perseverance and optimism of Kansans. Below the seal, a sunflower, the state flower, sits above the word "Kansas."
