Adjacent to Washington and Oregon in the Pacific Northwest, Idaho is a big state. It’s been said if you flatten all the mountains in Idaho, the state would be the size of Texas. Idaho covers two time zones, runs from Canada to Nevada, and encompasses the western side of the continental divide of the Rocky Mountains. Rivers, mountains, and farmland dominate the state’s landscape. The panhandle has emerald green hillsides, timbered mountains, and pristine lakes. Central Idaho is covered with jagged peaks.
Between 1900 and 1920, a large number of Basque immigrants came to Idaho from the Pyrenees to work as sheepherders. Today, Boise, Idaho's capital, has the largest Basque community in the United States. Idaho was the first state in the nation to elect a Jewish governor. Moses Alexander was elected in 1914 and re-elected in 1916.
The Idaho Flag was adopted on 15th March in 1927 for the first time though its origins can be traced back to 1907. The present Idaho Flag was effective from 1st March 1957. The Legislature of Idaho made certain modifications on the Idaho State seal in order to stress on the chief industries of Idaho, which are mining, forestry and agriculture. The state of Idaho became the 43rd state of the US on 3rd July 1890. The designer of the state seal was Emma Edwards-Green, the only American woman to ever design the official seal of a US state.
March 5, 1866, Idaho Territory adopted its first official seal, representing mountains below a new moon, a steamer on the Shoshone River, figures of Liberty and Peace, an elk’s head, and agricultural produce. A similar seal, with a rising sun replacing the moon and a miner instead of Peace, was adopted for the new state on March 14, 1891, and appears today in the state flag. The 1891 state seal is the only such American design to have been created by a woman, Emma Edwards (later Emma Edwards Green).
The state seal on the Idaho Flag remains for the main principle and commercial enterprises of the state. The vegetables, foods grown from the ground pile of wheat speak of the farming in Idaho. The digger is symbolic of the state's mineral assets and mining industry. The lady remains for equity and freedom. The elk is a representation of the considerable number of types of fauna found in the state while the pine tree means the commonwealth and timber industry of Idaho.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Idaho 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 Idaho flag for the future.
