MINNESOTA STATE FLAG

The Minnesota state flag is a striking and distinctive symbol of the North Star State's rich history and natural beauty. Designed by Amelia Hyde Center and officially adopted in 1893, the flag features a royal blue background with a prominent design in its center. At the heart of the flag is the state's official seal, set against a backdrop of a golden yellow circular field. The seal depicts a farmer plowing his field, a Native American on horseback, and the state's motto, "L'Étoile du Nord," which means "The Star of the North" in French. Above the seal, a radiant star shines brightly, symbolizing Minnesota's nickname and its position as the northernmost state in the contiguous United States. The Minnesota state flag serves as a reminder of the state's agricultural heritage, its indigenous roots, and the enduring spirit of its people.
