Description
Celebrate the great state of Indiana with a high-quality, weather-resistant Indiana flag!
These flags are proudly made in America from 100% nylon, a durable and lightweight fabric ideal for outdoor flying. Nylon dries quickly after becoming wet, which helps prevent mildew growth. The design is digitally printed for bold, vivid colors, and ensures fade and UV resistance.
Attach this flag to any of our outdoor flagpoles using the sturdy canvas header and brass grommets. Flags sized 8’ x 12’ and up feature nylon rope and thimbles instead for added security.
We offer Indiana’s state flag in the sizes 12” x 18”, 2’ x 3’, 3’ x 5’, 4’ x 6’, 5’ x 8’, 6’ x 10’, 8’ x 12’, 10’ x 15’, and 12’ x 18’. Please refer to our table of recommended flag size matches to help determine which flag is suitable for your pole.

Indiana Flag Meaning & History
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 held with an 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 still used today. The gold torch on the flag represents liberty and enlightenment, while the rays show Indiana's far-reaching influence. The 19 stars remind us 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.
