Arizona entered the Union in 1912 as the 48th State.
Arizona adopted its flag in 1917. Red and yellow are the colors of Spain, while blue is for the United States and the copper star symbolizes mineral resources. The rays suggest the setting sun over the desert.
Arizona state flags, flag decals, and Arizona state deal decals are available from FlagLine.com.
