History of the Oregon State Flag The official state flag of Oregon is the only state flag with different images on each side. It was adopted when a postmaster from Portland requested an official flag sent to Washington DC to be displayed with all the other US flags. On the reverse appears a beaver, the state animal. Both sides have a field of navy blue with design in gold. It was officially adopted in 1925. The front picture includes a heart shaped shield with an eagle on top, surrounded by thirty-three stars. The scene on the shield shows the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean, mountains, forests and a covered wagon. A plow, wheat and pickax represent farming and mining.
