  1. Utah State Flag History The original Utah State Flag consisted of a solid white state seal on a light blue background which was adopted by the State Legislature in 1896 and revised in 1913. The Utah State Flag, as we know it today, was originally designed for the battleship Utah in 1912. It was later made the official flag of Utah when Governor William Spry signed House Joint Resolution I in 1913.

  2. American Eagle with wings outspread, grasping six arrows in its talons, symbolizes protection in peace and war. Sego Lily is a symbol of peace. Bee Hive is the symbol of industry. Draped American Flag is the symbol of our support to the nation. "1847" is the year the Mormon Pioneer entered the Salt Lake Valley. "1896" is the year Utah was admitted as the 45th state (January 4, 1896).
