Oregon Flag History

Adopted: April 15, 1925

Oregon Flag Design: Seal of Oregon in gold on an azure field. Above the seal, the text “State of Oregon” is displayed in a wavy flow.

Designed by Oregon Legislature; first sewn by Marjorie Kennedy and Blanche Cox.

The Oregon flag, adopted in 1925, is navy blue with gold lettering and symbols. Blue and gold are the state colors. On the flag’s face the legend “STATE OF OREGON” is written above a shield, which is surrounded by 33 stars. Below the shield, which is part of the state seal, is written “1859,” the year of Oregon’s admission to The Union as the 33rd state. The flag’s reverse side depicts a beaver. Oregon has the distinction of being the only state in The Union whose flag has a different pattern on the reverse side. The dress or parade flag has a gold fringe, and the utility flag has a plain border.
