History
West Virginia adopted its present state flag on March 7, 1929. The design consists of a pure white field bordered by blue, with the state coat of arms in the center, a wreath of Rhododendron maximum, and a red ribbon reading “State of West Virginia.” The white symbolizes purity and the blue represents the Union. The arms include the date of statehood, June 20, 1863, and the motto “Montani Semper Liberi” (“Mountaineers are always free”), reflecting the state’s Civil War-era admission to the Union.
