The original Utah state
flag was adopted by the new state legislature in 1896. This
Utah state flag consisted of a solid white depiction of the
Utah state seal on a light blue background. This Utah state
flag remained in service until the state legislature revised
the statutes in 1913.
In 1903, the Utah State
Society Daughters of the Revolution presented a Utah state
flag to Governor Heber M. Wells. The Utah state flag,
embroidered by Agnes Teudt Fernelius, displayed the Utah State
Seal. Each member of the USSDR had donated one dollar to pay
for the Utah state flag.
In October of 1903, it was determined that an error had
been made in the State Seal depicted on the Utah state flag
and it was also determined that the Utah state flag that had
been presented and accepted by the Governor was not an
official Utah state flag but rather would serve as the
Governor's regimental flag. An official Utah state flag would
have to comply with an act of the state legislature and
thereby be approved by the state legislature.
The USSDR took their Utah state flag to artist H.L.A.
Culmer and asked him to make corrections to the state seal. A
new Utah state flag was born of this effort and presented to
the Governor. The Governor replied that ""It will be my
pleasure to display this Utah state flag upon every important
occasion where the Governor's flag may be required, both at
the World's Fair in St. Louis in celebration of the Louisiana
Purchase and elsewhere during my incumbency." This Utah state
flag was used until 1913.
In 1912, the Sons and Daughters of Utah Pioneers
commissioned a Utah state flag to be presented to the
battleship Utah. This Utah state flag displayed the Utah State
Seal centered on a blue background and circled by a thin gold
line. This Utah state flag became the official Utah State Flag
as we know it today when it was approved by the legislature
and Governor William Spry signed the the House Joint
Resolution in 1913. Like many other state flags, the
Utah state flag is blue. The Utah state flag also bears
the state seal. |
