2x3 Nebraska State Flag

Nebraska's official flag was adopted in 1925. It features the state seal (designed in 1867 by Isaac Wiles, a member of the House of Representatives), picturing a blacksmith hammering on an anvil, a settler's cabin, sheaths of wheat, a steamboat on a river, and the transcontinental railroad, with mountains in the background. The state motto, "Equality Before the Law," is on a banner above the landscape. The date of Nebraska's admission to the union, March 1, 1867, is listed below the seal.
