Utah became the 45th member of the union on Jan. 4, 1896, with Salt Lake City as its capital. Utah is known for having some of the best skiing in the country, and the mountains near Salt Lake City receive an average of 500 inches of snow per year.
The inscribed dates 1847 and 1896 refer, respectively, to the settlement of the original Mormon community at Salt Lake City and the achievement of statehood. The word industry is reinforced by a beehive; Deseret, the Mormon settlers’ name for the territory, means “honeybee.†On either side of the beehive are sego lilies (the state flower), which are said to be a symbol of peace; they recall those early inhabitants often were forced to eat the bulbs of the lily when another food was unavailable.
The Utah State Flag is made of a deep blue background, in the center of which there is the state seal, bordered with a yellow fringe. Above the crest of the seal in the Utah Flag, is a bald eagle or the national bird of the US, which stands for the nation and the security offered by it.
The USSDR took their flag to artist H.L.A. Culmer and asked him to make corrections to the state seal. A new flag was born of this effort and presented to the Governor. The Governor replied that "It will be my pleasure to display this 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 flag was used until 1913.
Written above the beehive is the state motto, "Industry." Outside the structure of the beehive are the state's national flowers or sego lily in full bloom. These flowers truly symbolize peace. Below the hive, the state name in written in bold white letters. 1847 is also known as the year of the Mormons or Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 1896 is the year when Utah was successful in becoming a member of the Union. The Utah Flag skillfully incorporates the national emblems like the bird and flag of USA onto its fabric.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Utah flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Utah flag for the future.
