Ohio State Flag - Design, History, and Symbolism #3900499 (License: Personal Use)

Ohio’s flag is the only non-rectangular U.S. state flag, adopted in 1902 and designed by John Eisenmann. It features a blue triangular canton with 17 white stars (symbolizing Ohio as the 17th state), a red disc encircled by white (representing the state’s nickname “The Buckeye State” and the sun rising over mountains), and three red and two white stripes evoking roads and rivers. The swallowtail shape reflects military guidons used historically.
