Idaho State Flag
| A short history of the Idaho State flag | Idaho was given
state hood in 1890, and some aspects of its old Territorial seal
were incorporated into the new state seal, which was designed
by Miss Emma Edwards. On one side of the coat of arms, supported
by the female figure of Liberty and Justice, and on the other
side by a miner carrying a pickaxe and shovel. Included in the
shield was landscape of the state tree, and the Western White
Pine, and surrounding the shield were two horns of plenty, a
wheat sheaf, some vegetation and rocks. Within a scroll of the
crest was an elk's head with the state motto. To indicate
that Idaho was a new state, one star at the foot surrounded the
rim. In 1907 the first flag called for the name of the state
to appear on a field of blue, and the seal appeared in full gold
color. In March 1927, legislation authorized the flag, and thirty years later Miss Edwards' surviving (original) artwork was brought into use for both the flag, and the original seal. |
