Ohio State Flag - Official Design and Symbolism #1803902 (License: Personal Use)

Ohio’s flag features three red and two white horizontal stripes, a blue triangular canton with seventeen white stars (representing Ohio as the 17th state), and a large red circle outlined in white at the center-symbolizing the state’s nickname, “The Buckeye State,” and its circular agricultural fields. Adopted in 1902, it remains the only U.S. state flag with a non-rectangular shape. The flag’s bold colors and distinctive swallowtail cut make it instantly recognizable.

Used on government websites, educational resources, civic events, and tourism pages to represent Ohio’s identity; matches user intent for learning about state symbols, history, or preparing for civics exams.
