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.
