Description
Embrace the California state of mind with our authentic, American-made California flags, an ideal present for anyone who cherishes the Golden State. Choose between nylon and polyester fabrics to best suit your climate.
Nylon California Flag
Crafted from high-quality nylon material, this Californian flag is lightweight and durable, ensuring it flies gracefully even in the gentlest breezes. The California flag comes equipped with a sturdy canvas header and brass grommets, making it great for hanging inside or outside on an outdoor flagpole.
The 3’ x 5’ nylon California Republic flag is the best-selling option, but we recommend you check out our Flag and Flagpole FAQ to see which flag size suits you best.
Polyester California Flag
If you're near the coast or regularly experience heavy winds, we recommend choosing our heavy-duty polyester option. Please note that the polyester flags are too heavy for use on house-mounted flagpoles. We offer the polyester state flag of California in sizes 3’ x 5’, 4’ x 6’, and 5’ x 8’.

California Flag Meaning & History
Adopted in 1911, California’s flag is one of the most striking US state flags, featuring a mighty grizzly bear in its center. The state of California flag traces its roots back to the 1846 Bear Flag Uprising when settlers in California created the Republic of California by seceding from Mexico. Soon after, California became the 31st state admitted to the Union.
What Bear is on the California Flag?
The bear featured on the state flag is a California grizzly bear, an extinct brown bear species that was driven to extinction in the early 1920s due to overhunting.
