How did North Dakota get its state flag?

Answer 1

The design of North Dakota's flag is almost an exact copy of the unit banner carried by the state's troop contingent in the Philippine-American War and was adopted as North Dakota's state flag on March 3, 1911.

The thirteen stars above the eagle represent the thirteen original US states.

The sun burst represents the birth of a new nation, the United States.

The olive branch and the arrow's in the eagle's claws represent the power of peace and war.

Answer 2

The state flag conforms to the color, design, and size of the regimental flag that was carried by North Dakota Infantry in the Spanish-American War in 1898 and Philippine Island Insurrection in 1899 (the only difference are the words "North Dakota" on the scroll below the eagle).

This design was made official by the North Dakota legislature on March 3, 1911, so no one specific person made the flag.

Answer 3

Representative Colonel John H. Fraine introduced H.B. No. 152 designating an official flag for the state of North Dakota on January 21, 1911.

The Legislative Assembly adopted the North Dakota state flag on March 3, 1911. Changes were made in 1953 and again in 2011.

Answer 4

The flag of the US state of North Dakota is called North Dakota's Flag.
