What do the designs on the Arizona flag represent?
The Arizona flag is divided into a top and bottom half with a large five-point copper star in the center. The 13 alternating rays of red and gold on the top half of the flag represent both the 13 original colonies of the Union, and the rays of the Western sunsets. Red and gold were also the colors carried by Coronado’s Spanish expedition in search of the Seven Cities of Cibola in 1540. The bottom half of the flag has the same shade of blue as the United States flag and represents the Colorado River. Since Arizona was the largest producer of copper in the United States, a copper star was superimposed in the center of the flag.
