Wisconsin State Flag
| A short history of the Wisconsin State flag | The original Wisconsin
state flag was very similar to this one used today. The seal
has stayed the same, but in 1979 the name and year were added
to set this flag apart from the many state flags containing just
a shield on a blue background.The arms and the seal were designed
in 1851 by Governor Nelson Dewey and the Chief Justice Edward
Ryan. On each side of the seal is a sailor and a miner. A badger
is on top of the shield, representing the early miners. The flag
was adopted in February 1911, The center of the shield has a
belt containing the arms of the USA together with the national
motto "forward". In 1980 new legislation added the
name of the state at the top and the date of admission to the
union below the coat of arms. |
