California Republic Flag - Official State Flag of California #42843 (License: Personal Use)

The California Republic flag displays a walking grizzly bear on a patch of green grass, a red five-pointed star in the upper left corner, and the words “CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC” beneath the bear, all set against a white field with a red horizontal stripe at the bottom. Adopted in 1911, it commemorates the short-lived California Republic of 1846 and reflects the state’s rugged identity and pioneering spirit. The grizzly bear, now extinct in California, represents strength and resilience.
