Ohio State Flag - Design, History, and Symbolism #1782970 (License: Personal Use)

Ohio’s flag is the only non-rectangular U.S. state flag, shaped like a burgee (swallowtail). Its blue triangle holds 17 white stars-symbolizing Ohio as the 17th state-and a red disc encircled by white, representing the state’s nickname, “The Buckeye State,” and its circular horizon. Red and white stripes evoke the U.S. flag and Ohio’s rivers and roads.

Used on government websites, educational resources, civic pages, and historical content about Ohio; serves users seeking state identity, symbolism, or visual reference for presentations or publications.
