KENTUCKY

Kentucky's official state flag was adopted in 1918, but that design was not finalized until in 1928. The flag was again changed in 1962.

The flag has a deep blue background with part of the state seal in the center. In the center are the words "COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY" and "UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL." On the seal, a pioneer and a statesman are shaking hands. Goldenrod flowers encircle the bottom half of the seal.

Kentucky was the 15th state in the USA; it became a state in 1792.
