The History of the Kentucky State Flag
The Kentucky state flag, adopted in 1918, symbolizes the state's unity and pride. The flag features a navy blue field with the state seal at its center. The seal depicts two figures shaking hands: a pioneer in buckskin and a statesman in a suit, representing all frontiersmen and statesmen. Encircling them is the state motto, "United We Stand, Divided We Fall," highlighting the importance of unity.
Goldenrod, the state flower, frames the seal, adding a touch of natural beauty. The design reflects Kentucky's commitment to unity, progress, and natural heritage.
