The California Republic flag displays a left-facing grizzly bear walking on a patch of green grass, with a red five-pointed star in the upper-left corner and the words “CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC” in brown serif font below. A solid red stripe runs along the bottom edge, completing the tricolor design of red, white, and green accents. This emblem, adopted in 1911, honors the short-lived 1846 Bear Flag Revolt and symbolizes strength, independence, and natural heritage.
