Flag of North Dakota

The design for the flag of North Dakota is an almost exact copy of the unit banner carried by the state's troop contingent in the Philippine-American War. It was adopted by the North Dakota legislature on March 3, 1911, although the color was not precisely specified at that time. Legislation in 1943 brought the flag in line with the original troop banner, which is on display at the state historical museum in Bismarck.

Interpretations of the flag are as diverse as there are makers of it; the complicated design precludes standardization. The design is typically screen-printed on rayon for mass-production; very few if any are embroidered.


Digitized versions of the flag are difficult to find, and indeed the State of North Dakota does not help the situation, its primary digital source file for the flag [1] is actually incorrectly rendered; the text "North Dakota" should be white, not blue. The interpretation of the blue color varies as well, some versions a deep navy and others almost a sky blue.


This inattention to detail extends to other state symbols; the Great Seal of North Dakota has been subject to wide interpretation outside the state. The Great Seal of North Dakota is the official seal of the state of North Dakota. ...

North Dakota - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2144 words)
North Dakota is a U.S. state, the northernmost of the Great Plains states in the Midwestern United States, although during the 19th century it was considered part of the Wild West.
North Dakota is bordered on the north by the Canadian Provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, on the west by Montana, on the south by South Dakota, and on the east, across the Red River of the North and the Bois de Sioux River, by Minnesota.
North Dakota is a prime example of a continental climate; distant from major bodies of water to moderate the weather, conditions range from sweltering heat and humidity to bitter cold.
