Did you know that the Virginia state flag has undergone several changes since its adoption in 1861? The current design was adopted on January 31, 1950. During the American Civil War, the flag featured a woman holding a spear and standing over a defeated Confederate soldier, symbolizing the Union’s victory. Over time, the design evolved to feature the state seal, which is now an integral part of Virginia’s identity. Fly American Flags is proud to offer this iconic symbol of freedom and virtue.
