Montana State Flag

Nicknamed the Treasure State for various reasons, natural beauty and abundant wildlife roam Montana and Virginia City, founded in 1863 is the most complete, original town of its kind in the entirely of the United States.

The Montana state flag has a field of brilliant blue. In the middle, the state’s official seal rests depicting a plow, shovel, and pick resting in a field in front of the Great Falls of the Missouri River. The ribbon within the seal contains the state motto: Oro y plata, which is Spanish for “gold and silver.” Adopted officially in 1905, the original 1905 flag did not have the word Montana added to it until 1981. Montana’s state flag history started with Colonel Kessler who headed the First Montana Infantry, a group of volunteers mustered for the war against Spain during 1898. An unknown woman created the flag for Kessler to distinguish Montana’s volunteers and had named it simply: “Colonel Kessler’s Flag,” before it became officially adopted.
