State Flag of Arizona
Introduction...
|
The lower half of the flag is a blue field, the upper half divided
into thirteen equal segments, six light yellow and seven red. In
the center of the flag is a copper-colored five-point star. The
red and the blue are the same shades as the flag of the United States
of America, and it measures four feet high and six feet wide. The flag
was designed by Charles W. Harris and first sewn by Nan D. Hayden.
Blue and yellow are the Arizona colors, and red and yellow the
colors of the Spanish Conquistadores headed by Coronado who first
came to Arizona in 1540. The copper star represents Arizona as the
largest producer of copper in the nation.
