OHIO DAKOTA STATE FLAG

The Ohio state flag is a distinctive and striking emblem that represents the rich history and heritage of the Buckeye State. Adopted on May 9, 1902, it features a unique swallowtail design with a prominent red, white, and blue color scheme. The flag is defined by its five alternating horizontal stripes, with the broad white center stripe bearing the official state seal. At the center of the seal stands a prominent image of a sunburst, representing Ohio's status as the 17th state in the United States. Encircling the sunburst are 13 stars symbolizing the original American colonies, while an outer ring bears the state's name and motto, "With God, all things are possible." The flag's swallowtail design not only sets it apart from other state flags but also provides a sense of movement and dynamism, making it an iconic symbol of Ohio's proud and enduring history.
