Arizona State FlagNothing symbolizes the Grand Canyon State better than the Arizona state flag. Adopted in 1917, the AZ state flag is made up of four different symbolic colors that best describe the versatile state.The centered copper star symbolizes the abundance of the mineral in the union. The Arizona flag is then split horizontally into two halves: The bottom blue and the top depicting the Arizona sunset. The bottom is colored the same shade of Liberty blue as the flag of the United States. As for the top half, the sun's rays separate into 13 parts, which symbolize the 13 original colonies of the United States. The top half of the Arizona state flag is colored yellow and red to pay tribute to the arrival of Spanish conquistadores to the state in 1540. This is why this part features the same shade of colors found in the Spanish flag. The Arizona flag, as with other state flags, are perfect symbols of state pride. Patriotic residents can be free to show their pride by hanging the AZ state flag on their homes or business facilities. |
