The Ohio State Flag

by Jerry Murphy

The Ohio Flag was first publicly displayed in 1901 at the Ohio Building of the Buffalo Pan American Exposition. It had no legal status, however, until the following year. A bill authorizing and describing the flag became law May 9, 1902. Following is the essential text of the act:

"The flag of the State of Ohio shall be pennant shaped. It shall have three red and two white stripes; the union of the flag shall be seventeen five pointed stars, white, in a blue triangular field, the base of which shall be the staff end or vertical edge of the flag, and the apex of which shall be the center of the middle red stripe. The stars shall be grouped around a red disc superimposed upon a white circular "O". . . . The proportional dimensions of the flag and its various parts shall be according to the official design thereof on file in the offices of the Secretary of State."

The thirteen stars grouped about the circle represent the thirteen original states; the group of four stars indicates those added, including Ohio, at the time of the state's admission into the Union. The white circular "O" is the initial letter of the name of the state.
