The Arizona state flag features 13 alternating red and yellow rays representing the original 13 colonies and the setting sun over the western horizon, with a large copper-colored star centered on a blue lower half symbolizing Arizona’s status as the 48th state and its rich copper resources. Designed by Charles W. Harris and officially adopted in 1917, the flag’s bold colors reflect the state’s desert landscapes, clear skies, and cultural identity.
