West Virginia State Flag - Official Design, Symbolism & History #305412 (License: Personal Use)

The West Virginia state flag displays a white field with a wide blue border and the state coat of arms at center, featuring two figures-a farmer and a miner-flanking a rock marked “June 20, 1863,” the date of statehood. Above them, a red ribbon reads “State of West Virginia,” while below, the Latin motto “Montani Semper Liberi” (Mountaineers Are Always Free) appears on a red scroll. The design is encircled by rhododendron blossoms, the state flower, and adorned with agricultural and industrial symbols like corn, wheat, and crossed rifles.
