History
Arkansas adopted its state flag on February 26, 1913, from a design by Willie Hocker. The diamond refers to Arkansas as the only diamond-producing state in the United States. The twenty-five stars on the border represent Arkansas as the twenty-fifth state admitted to the Union. The original three inner stars referred to the nations that ruled the territory, the Louisiana Purchase, and Arkansas as the third state formed from that purchase. A fourth inner star was added in 1923, and the 1924 arrangement placed one star above the state name and three below.
