What year was the North Dakota flag adopted?

The North Dakota flag was officially adopted in 1957. This adoption was part of an effort to create a standardized design for the flag that represented the state’s history and values. The flag features a blue field with the state’s coat of arms in the center, which includes an eagle, a shield, and various elements that symbolize the state's agricultural heritage and indigenous culture.

In the years leading up to 1957, North Dakota had a flag that was used informally, but it lacked the official status and design that was established later. The adoption in 1957 marked a significant moment in state pride and identity, as flags often serve not only as symbols of statehood but also reflect the unique history and values of the people they represent.
