Indiana entered the Union in 1816 as the 19th State.
Indiana adopted its flag in 1917. The outer ring of stars is for the original States, the inner ring for those up to and including Indiana. Enlightenment and liberty spreading throughout the land are represented by the torch and rays.
Indiana state flags, flag decals, and Indiana state deal decals are available from FlagLine.com.
