The Arizona flag was adopted on February 17, 1917. Many believe it is the best looking flag of any of the 50 states. It depicts 13 rays of sun, alternating red and yellow, extending out from an orange or copper star. The rays symbolize the state’s thirteen counties. The star represents the copper industry.
The rest of the Arizona flag is a dark blue. This color represents freedom.
