Flag of Utah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The flag of Utah was adopted in 1913 and consists of the Utah state seal encircled in a golden circle on a background of dark navy blue. The motto "industry" represents progress, as does the emblem of the beehive. The date 1847 represents the year Brigham Young led the first Mormons into the state.
The design of the seal was adopted in 1850 by the Territory of Utah and modified by the artist Harry Edwards when Utah became a state in 1896. He added a bald eagle and crossed U.S. flags to indicate the protection of the United States and Utah's loyalty to the nation.
