Ohio State Flag - Official Design, Symbolism & History #195221 (License: Personal Use)

Ohio’s flag is the only U.S. state flag that is not rectangular-it has a swallowtail design. The 17 stars represent Ohio as the 17th state admitted to the Union, while the large red circle with a white ring symbolizes the state’s nickname, “The Buckeye State,” and the sun rising over the mountains. The blue triangle signifies Ohio’s hills and valleys, and the stripes echo the U.S. flag.
