Ohio State Flag - Official Design, Symbolism, and History #1781227 (License: Personal Use)

Ohio’s flag, adopted in 1902, is the only non-rectangular U.S. state flag, featuring a blue triangular canton with 17 white stars (symbolizing Ohio as the 17th state), a red disc encircled by white (representing the state’s hills and valleys), and three red-and-white stripes evoking roads and waterways. Its swallowtail design reflects military banner traditions and enhances visibility in wind. The flag’s bold colors and geometry make it instantly recognizable and deeply meaningful to residents.

Used on government websites, educational resources, civic events, and tourism pages; ideal for users seeking official state symbols, historical facts, or visual assets for presentations and publications about Ohio.
