Washington DC Flag Meaning & History
The flag of the District of Columbia was designed by Charles Dunn, who based the design on George Washington’s coat of arms. The red stripes and stars we recognize today can be traced through Washington’s family to the 14th century. The coat of arms that preceded it had silver stripes and stars on a red background.
For many years, DC did not have a distinct flag despite repeated efforts in Congress. It finally succeeded in 1938, when a special commission chose Charles Dunn’s design, which he had created in 1921.
