The present Minnesota Flag is in use from 1st August, 1983.<\/p>\n<h3>Symbolism of Minnesota Flag<\/h3>\n<p>The state seal on the Minnesota Flag portrays a farmer plowing his field, which is a symbol for the state&#8217;s agriculture. The Native American on a horse represents the state&#8217;s heritage. The water stands for St. Anthony&#8217;s Falls and also for the Mississippi river, an important symbol for commerce and transportation. The tree base signifies the lucrative timber industry, whereas the red pine trees are symbols for the state tree. The wreath displays 3 significant dates. 1858 is the year when Minnesota gained statehood. In 1893, the Minnesota Flag was adopted. In 1819 Fort Snelling was set up. The 19 stars indicate that Minnesota was the 19th state to get admitted into the Union. The\u00a0<b>Minnesota Flag<\/b> is a bright blue flag that depicts the ideals of the state in the best manner.<\/p>\n<p>For flags of other states of the USA, check the <span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Flags of the 50 States&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:6723,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;4&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:16777215},&quot;9&quot;:0,&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;14&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0},&quot;15&quot;:&quot;Arial&quot;}\"><a href=\"\/usa\/state-flags\/\">Flags of the 50 States<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minnesota flag has a medium blue background and a centrally placed state seal.
