What Iowa Colors Represent

The only US state flag consciously designed as a homage to the French Tricolor, honoring Iowa's French colonial heritage under the Louisiana Territory; designed by Dixie Cornell Gebhardt of the Iowa DAR in 1917 and adopted as Iowa's official flag in 1921, 75 years after Iowa achieved statehood
