First explored for France by Robert Cavelier, Sieur de la Salle, in 1679-1680, the region figured importantly in the Franco-British struggle for North America that culminated with British victory in 1763. George Rogers Clark led American forces against the British in the area during theRevolutionary War and, prior to becoming a state, Indiana was the scene of frequent Indian uprisings until the victories of Gen.
Settlers from the British colonies on the American east coast began migrating west in the mid-1700s, seeking farmland. The American Revolution and the formation of the United States of America brought more demand for the lands of the west.
Early Indiana settlers had a great concern to preserve religious freedom, and many denominations have been cultivated here and contribute much to the makeup of Indiana life. Today, over 7000 churches can be identified serving about half of the current population.
The present design of the Indiana Flag has been accepted after holding a designing competition, whose sponsors were the Daughters of the American Revolution at the time of the Centennial jubilations of the state in 1917. The designer of Indiana Flag who won the competition was Paul Hadley of Mooresville.
The torch is a symbol of liberty and enlightenment; the rays represent their far-reaching influence. Thirteen stars in the outer circle symbolize the original thirteen states; the inner semi-circle of five stars represents the next five states to join the Union, and the large star above the torch is a symbol of Indiana.
"The field of the flag shall be blue with nineteen stars and a flaming torch in gold or buff. Thirteen stars shall be arranged in an outer circle, representing the thirteen original states; five stars shall be arranged in a half circle below the torch and inside the outer circle of stars, representing the states admitted prior to Indiana; and the nineteenth star, appreciably larger than the others and representing Indiana shall be placed above the flame of the torch." Indiana's natural heritage has benefited from private and public attention over the years. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Indiana Flag for the future.
