Wisconsin State Flag

Description

Wisconsin State Flag History

In 1863 Wisconsin had not yet adopted an official Wisconsin State Flag. The Civil War regiments in the field were requesting an official banner to fly. The legislature formed a committee to respond to these requests and, as a result 1863 adopted Joint Resolution Number 4. This resolution essentially adopted a design that was already in use by the Wisconsin regimental troops. In 1913, this resolution finally made it into the official state statutes of the state of Wisconsin.

Many states displayed the state seal on the official state flag, Wisconsin found that their flag was difficult to distinguish. After years of effort to distinguish the Wisconsin flag in some more noticeable way, the enactment of Chapter 286, Laws of 1979 responded with the addition of the word “WISCONSIN” in white letters above the state coat of arms and the date that Flag of  Wisconsin was admitted to the union, “1848” in white letters below the state coat of arms.
