The official flag of Indiana was adopted in 1917. Paul Hadley of Mooresville, Indiana entered this design in a contest sponsored by the DAR (Daughter’s of the American Revolution) for Indiana’s 100th anniversary of statehood in 1916. There are 19 golden stars on a blue field (19 stars because Indiana was the 19th state). The 13 stars in the outer ring represent the original 13 colonies; the 5 stars in the inner circle represent those 5 states admitted into the United States after the original 13. The single star above the golden torch of liberty represents the state of Indiana.
