About Ohio |

Columbus |

Ohio's state flag was adopted in 1902. The Ohio burgee,
as the swallowtail design is properly called, was designed by John
Eisemann. The large blue triangle represents Ohio's hills and valleys,
and the stripes represent roads and waterways. The 13 stars grouped
about the circle represent the original states of the union; the
4 stars added to the peak of the triangle symbolize that Ohio was
the 17th state admitted to the union. The white circle with its
red center not only represents the "O" in Ohio, but also suggests
Ohio's famous nickname, "The Buckeye State." |
