Additional Details:
Adopted by General Assembly in 1902, only pennant shaped flag among the 50 states. The triangles formed by the main lines of the flag represent the hills and valleys as typified in the State Seal, and the stripes the roads and waterways. The stars, indicating the thirteen original states of the Union, are grouped about the circle which represents the Northwest Territory, and that Ohio was the 17th state admitted into the Union is shown by adding four more stars. Designed by John Eisemann.
