Kansas State Flag
| A short history of the Kansas State flag | The Kansas seal shows a ploughman in the foreground preparing his field for sowing. In the sky there are 34 stars, and the rising sun appears in the background. In 1861 the state was admitted to the Union. In 1903, the state flower was adopted, and the native wild sunflower from which the state takes its nickname. The seal was altered by size in March 1927, and the official flag was adopted with the sunflower above the seal, resting on a twisted wreath of blue and gold. On June 30, 1963 the name of the state was added to make the flag more identifiable. In parades by the National Guard and individual National Guardsmen, they use the same design on their uniforms as a shoulder flash. |
| A short history of Kansas (The Sunflower State) | Kansas was originally part of the French Louisiana, and settlements began about 1727. By 1763, Kansas was ceded to Spain, and in 1800 went back to France. In 1803, it became part of the Louisiana Purchase to the USA, and became a Territory in 1854. On January 29, 1861 Kansas became a state in the Union. |
