Origins of the Flag of Missouri

The Missouri flag has been around for over a century. It was adopted on March 22, 1913. On this day, Missouri governor signed the State Flag Act recognizing the aforementioned design as the state’s official flag.

Of all 50 states, Missouri has the longest-running flag design. It was adopted in 1913. The Missouri flag has remained unchanged ever since. Other states have their own flag as well, but they aren’t as old as the Missouri flag.

Who Designed the Flag of Missouri?

You might be wondering who designed the Missouri flag. Reports show that it was designed by Missouri native Marie Elizabeth Oliver. Oliver was the wife of Missouri Senator R.B. Oliver. In 1908, she worked as a volunteer for the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). As part of her volunteer work, Oliver was tasked with creating a new design for the Missouri flag.

Oliver’s initial design consisted of the state’s coat of arms on a painted paper flag. She introduced this design to the Missouri State Capital in 1908. Shortly thereafter, Missouri adopted Oliver’s design.

What Does the Flag of Missouri Symbolize?

As shown in the photo above, the Missouri flag features three horizontal stripes. There’s a red stripe at the top, followed by a white stripe in the middle and then a blue stripe at the bottom. These colored stripes symbolize valor, purity and justice. Historians also believe that the colors symbolize Missouri’s connection to France.

The Missouri flag features the state’s coat of arms as well. There are 24 stars encircling the coat of arms. Missouri, of course, was the 24th state to be added to the union. This is why the Missouri flag features 24 stars around the coat of arms.

The coat of arms depicts a pair of grizzly bears. Missouri is one of just two states to depict this animal in its flag, with the other being California. In the center of the Missouri flag is the state’s coat of arms, which depicts a pair of grizzly bears standing upright.

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

The state flag of Missouri was officially adopted in March 1913. The original flag was designed and created by the wife of Senator Robert Burett Oliver, Marie Elizabeth Watkins Oliver, who was the head of a committee appointed by the Daughters of the American Revolution to look into designing a Missouri state flag. The main design on the flag is the state Seal of Missouri which was designed by Judge Robert William Wells and adopted in January, 1822.

What do the stripes and the design on the Missouri state flag represent?

The Missouri state flag consists of three equal, horizontal red, white and blue stripes. The Missouri State Seal is centered on the flag. Surrounding the Seal are 24 white stars on a blue band. The center of the state seal is a shield supported by two grizzly bears. The shield is divided into two parts. The right part is the United States Coat-of-arms containing a bald eagle with its wings spread wide holding a bundle of 13 arrows in its left talon, and an olive branch with 13 leaves and 13 olives in its right talon. The eagle has its head turned toward the olive branch and in its beak the eagle is clutching a scroll with the motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM” (“Out of Many, One”). Above the eagle’s head appears 13 small stars on a blue field arranged in rows of 1-4-3-4-1. The eagle has a breastplate of a chevron design with alternating red and white stripes, and a blue chief with no stars. On the left part of the shield is a grizzly bear and a silver crescent moon. Around this shield is a belt with the inscription of the motto, “UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL”. The two grizzlies supporting the shield are standing on a scroll bearing the state motto, “SALUS POPULI SUPREMA LEX ESTO”, which means, “Let the welfare of the people be the supreme law”. Below the scroll are the Roman numerals MDCCCXX. A helmet with an olive branch on each side, sits on the top of the shield. Above the helmet is a cloud of light blue on which lies one large and 23 small stars. The three horizontal stripes are symbolic of the people of Missouri—the red stripe represents valor, the white symbolizes purity, and the blue represents vigilance, permanency, and justice. The state’s seal appears in the center of the flag, signifying both Missouri’s independence as a state and its place as a part of the whole United States. Placing the state seal on the national colors signifies Missouri as she is, the geographical center of the nation. By mingling the coat-of-arms with the national colors, the flag signifies harmony between the state and the nation. The 24 white stars around the seal represents Missouri as the 24th state admitted to the Union. The helmet and buckled belt on the seal convey that Missouri is a strong state that wants to be free to handle its own problems. The front facing helmet represents state sovereignty. The olive branch on both sides of the helmet symbolizes peace. The grizzly bears signify the size and strength of the state and the courage of her people. The crescent moon reminds us that the people of Missouri can make their future better and symbolizes the “second son” which represents Missouri was the second state formed from the Louisiana Purchase. The larger star and 23 smaller stars above the bald eagle is a reminder that Missouri became the 24th state after solving many difficult problems. The helmet shows the power of the people of Missouri. The motto: “UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL” announces the importance to support the whole United States. And the motto: “SALUS POPULI SUPREMA LEX ESTO” is Latin for “Let the welfare of the people be the supreme law”, which reminds us, our state government’s function is to help better our lives. MDCCCXX symbolizes 1820, the year Missouri began its functions as a state although she was not granted statehood until 1821.
