Hawaii State Flag - History, Design, and Symbolism #1209003 (License: Personal Use)

The Hawaii state flag features the Union Jack in the canton, a legacy of historical ties with Britain, and eight horizontal stripes-alternating white, red, and blue-symbolizing the eight main Hawaiian Islands. Adopted in 1845, it remains the only U.S. state flag with a foreign national flag element. Its distinctive design reflects both sovereignty and cultural fusion.

Used on government websites, educational resources, travel guides, and cultural exhibits; ideal for users researching U.S. state symbols, Hawaiian history, or flag design.
