History
Iowa’s flag was designed by Dixie Cornell Gebhardt and officially adopted on March 29, 1921. Its unequal blue, white, and red vertical stripes recall the French tricolor and reflect Iowa’s connection to the former French Louisiana Territory. The eagle and ribbon display the state motto, “Our Liberties We Prize and Our Rights We Will Maintain,” with the word “Iowa” placed below.
