Alamo Flag Meaning & History
The flag of the Alamo was first designed in 1835 by Captain Philip Dimmitt, who took the base design of the Mexican tricolor and added the text “Constitution of 1824” to the center. Subsequent copies of the flag dropped the text to just “1824” for easier identification and visibility. Many Texan settlers initially supported enforcing the 1824 Mexican Constitution and statehood instead of total independence from the Mexican government.
In 1836, Mexican forces began a siege of the Alamo mission and fortress following earlier conflicts with American settlers. Though most of those inside the mission died during the battle, the event ultimately led to Texan victory and independence later that year.
