Iowa was never in a
hurry to adopt an Iowa State Flag as they felt that there was
no need for an Iowa State Flag; a national banner appropriately represented all of
the United States. And so it was not until 1921,
that an Iowa State Flag was finally adopted by the
Legislature.
The impetus for final
adoption of an official Iowa State Flag originated with Iowa
National Guardsmen stationed along the Mexican border during
World War I. The Guardsmen saw that units from other states
carried official banners and the Iowans felt that they needed
an Iowa State Flag to identify their origins. The D.A.R.
was then prompted to design an Iowa State Flag.
Designed by Mrs. Dixie
Cornell Gebhadt, the Iowa State Flag consists of three
vertical stripes. Gebhadt wanted the Iowa State
Flag to have the same colors as the national flag. So,
like many state flags, the Iowa State Flag is red, white and
blue.
An eagle is displayed on
the white center stripe of the Iowa State Flag. The state name "IOWA" is
printed in red letters below the eagle on the Iowa State Flag. |
