Arkansas State Flag - Official Design, Symbolism, and History #14085 (License: Personal Use)

The Arkansas state flag consists of a crimson red field with a large white diamond bordered in blue, centered on the flag. Inside the diamond are 25 white five-pointed stars-representing Arkansas as the 25th state admitted to the Union-and four larger blue stars: three above “ARKANSAS” denoting the three nations that have governed Arkansas (France, Spain, and the United States), and one below symbolizing the Confederacy during the Civil War. The flag was designed by Miss Willie K. Hocker and officially adopted in 1913, with modifications in 1924 (adding the word “ARKANSAS”) and 1987 (repositioning the stars).
