Hawaii State Flag - Symbol of Aloha Spirit and Historical Legacy #1208981 (License: Personal Use)

The Hawaiian flag features eight horizontal stripes of white, red, and blue-symbolizing the eight main islands-and a Union Jack in the canton, a nod to Hawaii’s historical relationship with Great Britain. Designed in 1816 under King Kamehameha I, it remains the only U.S. state flag with a foreign national flag incorporated into its design. The flag is often displayed during cultural events, state holidays, and patriotic ceremonies across the islands.
