Idaho State Flag
Date adopted: Mar 12, 1907
The state of Idaho's seal and flag are rich in symbolism and history. The seal, designed by Emma Edwards Green in 1863, features a miner and a woman symbolizing equality, liberty, and justice. The seal's imagery represents Idaho's abundant natural resources, including mines, forests, farmland, and wildlife. It also includes Latin text, "Esto perpetua," meaning "Let it be perpetual," and references the state's chief industries, such as mining and agriculture. The flag, adopted in 1927, showcases the state seal on a blue field, with the words "State of Idaho" in gold letters below the seal. Despite criticism in a flag survey, Idaho's flag remains a meaningful representation of its heritage and resources.
