West Virginia State Flag

Prior to the official adoption of the present State Flag on March 7, 1929, West Virginia had been represented by several flags. Prominently displayed on the pure white field of today's flag is a Coat of Arms, the lower half wreathed by Rhododendron, the State flower. Lettered across the top on a ribbon, is the constitutional designation -- "State of West Virginia". The white field is bordered on four sides by a strip of blue.
