History of the Ohio State Flag The Ohio State flag is the only flag to have a swallow-tailed burgee, unlike the regular rectangular shape. Ohio’s official flag was adopted by an act of the Ohio Legislature on May 9, 1902. The Ohio burgee, as the swallow-tailed design is properly called, was drawn by John Eisenmann, architect and designer for the Ohio State Pan-American Exposition Commission. The Ohio flag has three red and two white horizontal stripes. At its staff end is a blue triangular field with the apex at the center of the middle red stripe. There are 17 white, five-pointed stars grouped around a red disc superimposed upon a white circular O. Read more about the history of the Ohio State Flag at the Touring Ohio website.
