About the Indiana State Flag

Indiana's is one of our country's simplest and most distinctive state flags.  The flag has its origins in the state's 1916 Centennial celebration.  As part of the festivities, the Daughters of the American Revolution sponsored a competition for the best design for a new state flag.  Up until that time, Indiana had no flag of its own.  The winning design, unchanged to this day, was created by Paul Hadley of Mooresville, and was adopted the following year.

The Indiana states flag consists of a yellow torch surrounded by yellow stars on a dark blue field.  The thirteen stars in the outer ring represent the thirteen original states.  The five stars in the inner semi-circle represent the other five states that entered the Union ahead of Indiana.  The star directly above the torch, larger than all the others, commemorates Indiana's admittance to the Union as our nineteenth state.  The torch symbolizes liberty and enlightenment; the rays shining from it represent the far-reaching influence of these ideals. 

State legislation requires that the outer circle of stars shall be so arranged that one star shall appear directly in the middle at the top of the circle, and the name "Indiana" shall be placed in a half circle over and above the star representing Indiana and midway between it and the star in the center above it.
