Iowa Flag History and Meaning
Iowa was almost 75 years old before the state decided to adopt a banner in 1921. The Daughters of the American Revolution designed the flag after the Iowa national Guardsmen who were stationed along the Mexican border in WWI asked for an emblem of Iowa to represent their unit.
The design consists of three vertical stripes. The vertical stripe of blue represents justice, loyalty, and truth. The white stripe stands for purity and the red stripe is for courage. The eagle on the center of the flag is the same eagle on Iowa’s state seal. This eagle carries a streamer that has the state motto: “Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain.”
