Illinois's original state flag was designed in 1913 by
Lucy Derwent (who had won a contest), but was redesigned in 1970 by Mrs.
Sanford Hutchinson. The flag's design is based upon the state's seal,
which was designed by Sharon Tyndale, Illinois' secretary of state, in
1868.
The flag has a white background, and much of the
Illinois state seal is pictured in the center. There is a bald eagle
perched on a rock holding a red, white, and blue shield in its talons
(the stars are white on a blue background and the stripes are red and
white). The shield has 13 stripes and 13 stars, representing the
original 13 colonies of the USA. The eagle is holding a banner in its
beak which reads "STATE," "SOVEREIGNTY," "NATIONAL," and "UNION." The
word sovereignty is upside down. The rock has the dates 1818 and 1868
written on it; 1818 refers to the year Illinois became a state and 1868
refers to the date the state seal was redesigned.
Origin of the Name Illinois - Illinois comes
from the word Illini, a confederation of the Cahokia, Kaskaskia,
Michigamea, Moingwena, Peoria and Tamaroa Indian tribes.
Illinois State Nickname - Prairie State
State Motto - State Sovereignty, National Union
State Song - "Illinois"
