History of the Nevada State Flag

Nevada’s state flag reflects its mining heritage, military pride, and enduring frontier legacy. The current design was officially adopted in 1991, though it traces its origins to earlier versions introduced in 1905 and 1929.

The flag features a deep cobalt blue field—symbolic of loyalty and vigilance—matching the color used in the U.S. flag. In the upper left corner (canton) is a silver star beneath a golden scroll that reads “Battle Born.” This phrase proudly references Nevada’s admission to the Union during the Civil War in 1864, making it one of the states “born” in battle. Encircling the star and scroll are two sprays of green sagebrush, Nevada’s official state flower.

The silver star pays homage to the state's nickname, “The Silver State,” due to its rich history of silver mining that helped finance the Union war effort.

Symbolism of the Nevada Flag

Each element of the Nevada state flag holds specific meaning:

  • “Battle Born” Scroll: Marks Nevada’s entry into the Union during the Civil War.

  • Silver Star: Reflects the state’s mining wealth and nickname.

  • Sagebrush Sprigs: Represents Nevada’s rugged desert beauty and its official state flower.

  • Cobalt Blue Field: Echoes the Union flag and stands for strength and unity.

The overall design reflects Nevada’s dual identity as a resource-rich frontier state and a proud member of the United States.
