Flag of California

The Californian State flag was adopted in 1911 but modifications into its current design were made in 1953. The flag was first used during the Bear Flag Revolt when US Settlers in Sonoma then a Mexican province in California proclaimed the Bear Flag Republic during the Mexican-American war. The single star on the hoist was placed to mimic that of Texas “the Lone Star”. On the Center is a now extinct California grizzly bear with the words “California Republic" under the bear and a red strip.
