The California Republic flag features a walking grizzly bear above a patch of green grass, a single red star in the upper left corner, and the words “CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC” in bold brown letters. A red stripe runs along the bottom edge, completing the design inspired by the 1846 Bear Flag Revolt. This flag was officially adopted as the state flag in 1911 and remains a powerful symbol of Californian identity and independence.
