Flag of Indiana
The current flag of Indiana was designed by Paul Hadley and officially adopted by the U.S. state of Indiana on May 31, 1917.
It is the state's third official flag and has remained unchanged except for the creation of a statute to standardize the production of the flag in 1955. Prior to 1955, it was referred to as the state's official banner.
A state flag for Indiana was in use as early as 1885, depicting the seal of Indiana wrapped in an oak leaf wreath, a star-spangled shield with 13 stars and stripes below the seal, and a red scroll above the seal that bears the state's name.
On February 21, 1885, each state was asked to dedicate a state flag for the Washington Monument. At the time, Indiana lacked a state flag, and so the Indiana government had authorized Eliza Callis, the State Librarian for the Indiana State Library, to produce the first Indiana state flag. In 1893, when Benjamin Harrison came to Indianapolis, the flag was flown to celebrate his arrival.
Prior to the adoption of the first state flag, a battle flag that was used by the 13th Indiana Infantry Regiment during the American Civil War shared a near identical design.
In 1901, Senate Bill 239 of Chapter 150 in Laws of the State of Indiana sought to make the flag of the United States the official state flag of Indiana. This Act passed at the Sixty-Second Regular Session of the General Assembly, and was put into effect on March 9, 1901, when Governor Winfield Durbin signed the bill into law. This Act lasted until 1955 when the Indiana General Assembly amended the Act, officially recognizing Paul Hadley's flag design as the state flag.
The bill reads as follows:
WHEREAS, The State of Indiana has no flag; and
