Design and Symbolic Features of California State Flag

California law identifies the Bear Flag as the State Flag of California and describes its official design in detail: a red star in the upper left, a brown grizzly bear on a green grass plot, a red stripe along the bottom, and the words “CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC.” Official California State Capitol Museum materials also note that the California State Flag is widely known as the Bear Flag and that it was officially adopted in 1911, with the full design and color scheme settled in 1953. Those official elements make this flag especially suitable for civic display, educational presentation, and projects tied to California identity.

Common Applications for California State Flag

California state flags are commonly used in schools, public institutions, municipal display, and regional event settings. They are also prepared for government buildings, court-related display, museum-related programs, indoor ceremonial use, and outdoor flagpole presentation. California law also requires the Bear Flag to be installed in superior courtrooms and in the courtrooms of the Supreme Court and courts of appeal, which gives this page especially strong relevance for institutional and official-use projects.
