The Wisconsin state flag, adopted in 1913, reflects the state's rich history and diverse economy. The flag features a blue field with the state coat of arms in the center. Above the coat of arms, the word "WISCONSIN" and the year "1848" are displayed, marking the year Wisconsin was admitted to the Union.

The coat of arms includes a sailor and a miner, symbolizing the importance of labor on water and land. At the center, a shield is divided into four parts: a plow for agriculture, a pick and shovel for mining, an arm and hammer for manufacturing, and an anchor for navigation. The state motto, "Forward," is displayed above the shield, reflecting Wisconsin's continuous drive for progress. Below the shield is a cornucopia, symbolizing abundance, and a pyramid of lead ingots, representing mineral wealth.
