Wyoming State Flag
| A short history of the Wyoming State flag | The original Wyoming
State Flag had the buffalo facing away from the pole, symbolizing
the buffalo walking away in the sunset. This was later changed
to have the buffalo facing the pole, and therefore the wind direction,
representing the buffalo's which face into the winds on the Great
Plains. The seal which now appears within the shape of the buffalo
was originally cut in 1893, and revised in 1921. The figure of
Victory (holding a scroll proclaiming "equal Rights"),
stands between two colums, around which are ribbons bearing the
names of the chief products of the state.The supporters are a
cowboy and a miner and between them at their feet is the shield
of the USA. (source: Flags of the World website) |
| A short history of Wyoming (The Equality State / The Cowboy State) | The eastern part
was once subject to France and the Western part to Spain (later
Mexico). The US acquired the French Territory in 1803, and the
mexican in 1848. Settlers arrived from 1834 onward.A Territory
was organized in 1868.* Originally inhabited by several Native
American tribes, the first outside explorers to visit the area
were French trappers and a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
Eventually the Oregon Trail passed through the area. Wyoming
became a territory on July 25, 1868, and a beautiful area in
north-western Wyoming became the world's first national park,
called Yellowstone National Park. Wyoming was admitted to the
Union on July 10, 1890. (*source: wikipedia) |
