The Meaning and History Behind the Arizona Flag
In 1910, Colonel Charles W. Harris designed the flag we see today when the Arizona rifle team went to the national matches. At the time, there was no official flag and he wanted one to represent the territory. This flag was later adopted by Arizona’s Third Legislature in 1917.
Col. Harris’s design is split into two halves. The bottom half is the same national blue as the United States flag. The top half has thirteen alternating red and yellow rays that represent the 13 original colonies. These are designed to look like a setting sun because Arizona is a state in the west. The red and yellow colors are taken from the Spanish flags that were carried by Coronado when he came to Arizona in 1540. The large copper star in the middle represents Arizona and the fact that it is the largest producer of copper in the United States.
