OHIO
was admitted to Statehood on March 1, 1803
OHIO's State Flag was adopted in 1902. The Ohio Burgee, as
the swallowtail design is properly called, was designed by
John Eisemann. The large blue triangle represents Ohio's
hills and valleys, and the stripes represent the original
states of the union; the 4 stars added to the peak of the
triangle symbolize that Ohio was the 17th state admitted to
the union. The white circle with its red center not only
represents the "O" in Ohio, but also suggests Ohio's famous
nickname, "The Buckeye State".
The
origin of state's name was from the Iroquois Indian
word for "good river".
