Indiana State Flag History & Meaning

In 1916, the Indiana General Assembly issued a resolution to adopt a state flag to celebrate the state’s centennial. A contest for flag designs was put in place with the incentive of $100. The entry designed by Paul Hadley was chosen as the winner, becoming the official state banner in May 1917. 

Paul Hadley’s design is the one still used today. The gold torch on the flag represents liberty and enlightenment, while the rays are meant to show Indiana's far-reaching influence. The 19 stars are a reminder that Indiana was the 19th state to join the United States, with the 13 outer stars representing the original 13 colonies. The five inner stars signify the following five states that joined the union, while the star above the torch represents Indiana.
