Kansas State Flags

History of the Kanasa State Flag

The Kansas state flag was adopted in 1927. It features a sunflower on a blue field, with the state seal in the center. The sunflower is a symbol of Kansas, as it is one of the state's official flowers. The state seal on the flag includes the state motto, "Ad Astra per Aspera," which means "To the Stars Through Difficulties." The seal also includes a depiction of a pioneer and a Native American, representing the state's history and the coexistence of its diverse population. The flag also includes the word "Kansas" at the bottom.
