Ohio State Flag - Official Design, Symbolism, and History #195217 (License: Personal Use)

Ohio’s flag, adopted in 1902, is the only U.S. state flag with a non-rectangular shape-a swallowtail burgee. Its blue triangle represents the state’s hills and valleys, with 17 stars signifying Ohio as the 17th state; the red circle with white ring symbolizes the buckeye nut and Ohio’s nickname. The red and white stripes echo the U.S. flag, honoring national unity.
