Ohio State Flag - Design, History, and Symbolism #1768334 (License: Personal Use)

Ohio’s flag displays a blue triangular canton with 17 white stars surrounding a red disc encircled in white, symbolizing the state’s admission as the 17th U.S. state and its nickname “The Buckeye State.” The three red and two white stripes represent roads and rivers, while the swallowtail cut reflects military pennants of the Civil War era. Designed by John Eisenmann, it was officially adopted in 1902 and remains the sole non-rectangular state flag in the United States.
