Kentucky State Flag - Official Design, Symbolism & History #3051427 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of the Commonwealth of Kentucky features a royal blue field with the state seal centered, encircled by the words “COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY” above and the motto “UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL” below. The seal depicts two men clasping hands-one in buckskin representing a frontiersman, the other in formal attire symbolizing a statesman-flanked by sprigs of goldenrod and laurel. Adopted in 1918 and standardized in 1962, the design reflects Kentucky’s heritage of unity, democracy, and natural abundance.
