The Flag of the
State of Utah was adopted in 1913 and consists of the Utah State
Seal encircled in a golden circle on a background of dark navy
blue.
A bald eagle, the national bird of the United States represents
the protection of America. The arrows in the talons of the eagle
represent courage in war. The sego lily, the Utah state flower,
represents peace. The state motto "industry" represents progress,
hard work, and community as does the emblem of the beehive, which
is also a traditional Mormon symbol. Crossed Union flags show
Utah's support and commitment to the United States. The name,
Utah, appears underneath the beehive. The date 1847 represents the
year Brigham Young led the first Mormons into the state. 1896
represents the year that Utah was admitted to the Union. The gold
circle around the state seal represents eternal order.
The design of the seal was adopted in 1850 by the Territory of
Utah and modified by the artist Harry Edwards when Utah became a
state in 1896.
Utah Territory flag
Prior to Utah's admission to the Union, the Utah Territory used a
flag somewhat resembling the one latter used as a state.
Flag of the State of Desert
According to most descriptions, the flag of the State of Desert
was similar to the flag of the State of Utah, but as it was not
standardized, multiple other secular and religious alternatives
were also used.
