The History of the Nebraska State Flag


The Nebraska state flag, adopted in 1925, features the state seal on a blue field. The seal, designed in 1867, showcases a blacksmith hammering on an anvil, symbolizing Nebraska's industry. In the background, a settler's cabin, sheaves of wheat, and a steamboat on the Missouri River represent the state's agricultural roots and its vital waterways.

Above these elements, a banner displays the state motto, "Equality Before the Law," reflecting Nebraska's commitment to justice and equality. The design encapsulates the state's heritage, values, and natural resources.
