In 1863 Wisconsin had
not yet adopted an official Wisconsin flag and the Civil War
regiments in the field were requesting an official Wisconsin
flag to fly. The legislature formed a five-member joint select
Wisconsin flag committee to respond to these requests and, as a result 1863
Joint Resolution 4 was adopted. This resolution essentially
adopted a Wisconsin flag design that was already in use by the
Wisconsin regimental troops.
In 1913, this Wisconsin
flag resolution
finally made it into the official state statutes of the state
of Wisconsin. Chapter 111, Laws of 1913 specifying a dark blue
Wisconsin flag with the state coat of arms centered on each
side, evolved into Chapter 1, section 1.08 of the Wisconsin
statutes.
Wisconsin found that the Wisconsin flag
was difficult to distinguish from others. After years of
effort to distinguish the Wisconsin flag in some more
noticeable way, the enactment of Chapter 286, Laws of 1979
responded with the addition of the word "WISCONSIN" in white
letters on the Wisconsin flag above the state coat of arms and
the date that Wisconsin was admitted to the union, "1848" in
white letters on the Wisconsin flag below the state coat of arms.
Like many others, the Wisconsin flag is blue. The
Wisconsin flag also bears the state coat of arms. |
