The Indiana flag, adopted in 1917, consists of a blue field with a gold torch in the center, surrounded by a circle of 13 stars, and an inner semi circle of 5 stars with a 19th, larger, star at the top of the torch. This larger star is crowned by the word “INDIANA,” representing Indiana’s admission into the Union as the 19th state.

#1) Adopted in 1917

The Indiana state flag was officially adopted in 1917. The design was created in response to a contest hosted by the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). Prior to this time, Indiana didn’t have an official flag. The DAR acknowledged the need for an official flag, so they held a contest seeking design submissions. An entry from Paul Hadley was selected as the winner. Hadley’s design would become Indiana’s official banner as well as Indiana’s official flag.

#2) Design Hasn’t Changed

It’s not uncommon for state flags to change their respective designs. Some state flags, in fact, have been revised over a half-dozen times. The flag of Indiana, however, hasn’t been changed. It continues to feature the same design that was adopted over a century ago. Indiana is one of the few states that continues to use its original flag design. Other states have typically revised their flag’s design as least once in the past.

#3) 19 Field Stars Represent Indiana’s Statehood

The Indiana flag features a blue field with 19 stars. The number 19 is significant because it represents Indiana’s statehood. Indiana was the 19th state to join the United States. Official specifications for the flag of Indiana call for a blue field with 19 stars and a flaming torch. The 19 field stars are symbolic of Indiana’s statehood.

#4) 13 Outer-Loop Stars Represent the 13 Original Colonies

The outer loop or circle of the flag of Indiana, conversely, features 13 stars. These 13 stars represent the original 13 colonies. On the American flag, the 13 original colonies are represented by stripes. On the flag of Indiana, they are represented by stars. You can find the 13 stars arranged in an outer loop or circle on the flag of Indiana.

#5) Schools Are Legally Required to Display It

Schools in Indiana are legally required to display the flag. Indiana has laws that govern when and where the flag is displayed. Among these laws is a requirement for all schools, as well state buildings, to display the Indiana flag. Additionally, the flag of Indiana must be treated with the same level of respect and care as the American flag.

When was the Indiana state flag adopted and who designed it?

The Indiana state flag was adopted in 1917 and was described by the legislation as a state “banner”. In 1955 the General Assembly changed the name from “banner” to “flag”. The flag was designed by Paul Hadley, a respected Hoosier artist, of Mooresville, Indiana. His design was selected out of 200 proposals during a competition sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution.

What is the design on the Indiana state and what does it represent?

The state flag of Indiana contains a blue field, with nineteen gold stars, a golden lit torch with rays, and the state name INDIANA. There are 13 stars in the outer circle around the torch, and five stars arranged in a half circle just below the torch but inside the outer circle of stars. The star under the state name and above the torch is larger than the other stars and it represents Indiana, the 19th state. The 13 outer circle of stars represents the original 13 colonies that were united to form the United States. The 5 stars in a half circle stand for the states admitted to the Union prior to Indiana (Vermont, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Louisiana). The torch represents liberty and enlightenment and the rays symbolize the expansive nature of these two concepts.

How are you supposed to fly the Indiana flag with your American flag?

When flying the Indiana and American flag on the same pole, the flag of the United States must always be at the top and the Indiana flag should be the same size or smaller. When It is flown on separate poles, the Indiana flag will be to the right of the flag of the United States situating the U.S. flag in the position of honor, which is to the observer’s left of the other flags.
