About State Flags Explained
We're on a mission to make learning about US state flags engaging, accessible, and fun for everyone—from elementary students to lifelong American history enthusiasts.
Helping Americans discover the stories, symbols, and history behind all 50 state flags
Our Story
State Flags Explained was born from a simple observation: while most Americans can recognize their own state flag, few know the stories behind all 50 state flags or understand the rich symbolism woven into each design.
Founded in 2024 by a team of educators and history enthusiasts, we noticed that students often struggled with US geography and state identification. Traditional resources were either too academic for casual learners or too simplistic for serious study.
We set out to create a comprehensive resource that bridges this gap—offering engaging, visually appealing content that makes learning about state flags accessible to everyone, while maintaining the historical accuracy and depth that educators and history buffs expect.
🎯 Our Vision: To become the most trusted and comprehensive resource for US state flag education, inspiring curiosity about American history and geography through the fascinating stories behind each state's banner.
