The Arizona state flag displays 13 alternating red and yellow rays representing the sun’s setting over the western horizon and the original 13 colonies. A large copper-colored star sits centered on a blue lower half, honoring Arizona’s status as a leading copper producer and evoking the U.S. flag’s blue field of unity. The design was created by Charles Harris and officially adopted in 1917.
