Description
Design
of the
Ohio
state
flag
created
by
architect
John
Eisenmann
in
1901
.
Prior
to
1901
,
Ohio
did
not have an
official
flag
. This
particular
design
attracted
the
attention
of
Ohio's
House
of
Representatives
. In
1901
, a
bill
was
enacted
and by
May
9
,
1902
the
design
was
signed
into
law
as the
state
flag
. The
swallow-tailed
pennant
is
steeped
with
Ohio
symbolism
.
Triangles
formed
by the
main
lines
represent
Ohio's
hills
and
valleys
,
while
the
stripes
represent
Ohio's
roads
and
waterways
. The
stars
indicate
the
thirteen
original
states
of the
Union
and are
grouped
around
a
circle
or
O
,
which
symbolizes
the
Northwest
Territory
. The
four
stars
on the
other
side
of the
O
denote
that
Ohio
was the
fourth
new
state
to
enter
the
Union
.
Added
together
, the
seventeen
stars
signify
that
Ohio
was the
seventeenth
state
in the
Union
. The
white
circle
with its
red
center
represents
the
initial
letter
of
Ohio
and
suggests
a
buckeye
,
since
Ohio
is
known
as the "
Buckeye
State.
