Arkansas Flag

The flag of Arkansas shows a diamond on a red field.

The diamond represents the state's diamond mines (Arkansas was the first state where diamonds were mined).
The diamond is has a blue border containing twenty-five white stars. These stars represent Arkansas' position as the 25th state to join the union.
The blue star above the word "Arkansas" represents the state's membership of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War.
The blue stars below the word "Arkansas" represent, the three nations to which Arkansas has belonged (Spain, France and the United States of America), the year in which the Louisiana Purchase occurred (1803), and that Arkansas was the third state (after Louisiana and Mississippi) formed from the Louisiana Purchase.

In 1911, Arkansas did not have a state flag. A competition was held by the Pine Bluff chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, with a view to create a state flag for the commissioning of the battleship USS Arkansas. The winner was a design similar to the current state flag, created by Willie Kavanaugh Hocker. The flag was modified by the judging committee, and adopted by the state legislature on 26th February 1913. The flag was slightly modified in 1923, and again 1924, and has remained unchanged since that time.
