A little history
Much like many states in the aftermath of the Civil War, Iowans felt that a state banner wasn't needed when a show of national unity was deemed more important.
The move to create the flag after nearly 75 years was brought on by the United States entry into World War I when Dixie Cornell Gebhardt and the Iowa Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution presented it to be used by Iowa soldiers in the conflict.
Consisting of three vertical stripes of blue, white and red (honoring the area being part of the Louisiana Purchase), the center white stripe is wider to accommodate a bald eagle... The blue represents loyalty, justice and truth; the white for purity; the red for courage... The eagle carries streamers in its beak with the State Motto "Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain" written on them. The word "IOWA" in red beneath the eagle scene.
Although the move to make it official was made in 1917, it was not adopted as the State Flag until 1921.
