Michigan Flag Meaning & History
Michigan began as a French colony and became a British territory in the 1700s. British ownership was short-lived, and the region became a United States territory following the American Revolution. Finalizing Michigan’s borders was lengthy; Michigan was finally incorporated into the Union in 1837 as the 26th state.
The current Michigan state flag was adopted in 1911. It features a coat of arms that celebrates Michigan's geography, nature, and history as a frontier state.
The design features three Latin mottos. From top to bottom, they are:
- "E Pluribus Unum" means "Out of many, one," a United States motto.
- "Tuebor" means "I will defend."
- "Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam Circumspice" means "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you,” the official state motto.
The elk and moose featured in the coat of arms are state symbols of Michigan, and the bald eagle represents the United States.
