Kentucky State Seal - Official Symbol of the Commonwealth #3238999 (License: Personal Use)

The Kentucky state seal features two men in 18th-century attire shaking hands at its center, representing the bond between frontiersman Daniel Boone and a Native American, or more broadly, friendship and unity. Encircling the image is the text “Commonwealth of Kentucky” and the motto “United We Stand, Divided We Fall,” adopted in 1792 when Kentucky became the 15th U.S. state. The design reflects Enlightenment ideals and the importance of solidarity in governance.

This image is commonly used on government websites, educational resources, historical articles, and official documents to represent Kentucky’s identity and heritage; users typically seek information about state symbols, civics, or local history.
