West Virginia State Flag

A short history of the West Virginia State flag West Virginia's official flag was adopted on March 7, 1929. The flag has a pure white field bordered by blue. The state seal is encircled by a garland of the state flower (rhododendron), in the center of the flag is pictured two men (a farmer and a miner) around a rock bearing the date June 20, 1863 (the day West Virginia split from Virginia during the Civil War, and became a state). One man is holding a pickax and the other a woodsman's ax, two hunting rifles are crossed in the foreground with a cap of Liberty upon them (a symbol of freedom). A red ribbon below the guns has the state motto, "Montani Semper Liberi" (meaning "Mountaineers are always free"). A large red ribbon above the seal reads, "STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA."
