American Flags : Nevada State Flag

Nevada Flag


Nevada Flag History : On the state seal Nevada has an allegorical landscape, but it doesn't appear on the state flag. The design is pleasingly simple, and it results from a competition won by Louis Shellback. His winning design didn't contain the name of the state. It was added around the white star before the flag was officially adopted on March 26, 1929. During the Civil War Nevada became a state, and this reflected in the motto. Two sprigs of sagebrush, the state flower, complete the design on the flag.
