History and Meaning of Missouri Flag
Missouri did not have a state flag for almost a century after the state joined the union. In 1908, the wife of Senator Robert Burett Oliver, Mrs. Marie Elizabeth Oliver, designed a flag for Missouri. After taking multiple years and several bill attempts, the design was adopted as the state flag in 1913.
Oliver’s design is meant to embrace national pride while still representing the Missourian people. The blue stripe symbolized vigilance, and justice. The red represents valor, and the blue represents purity. The Missouri coat-of-arms is in the center because Missouri is geographically in the middle of the United States.
