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.
Indiana sits, as its motto claims, at “the crossroads of America.†It borders Lake Michigan and the state of Michigan to the north, Ohio to the east, Kentucky to the south, and Illinois to the west, making it an integral part of the American Midwest. Except for Hawaii, Indiana is the smallest state west of the Appalachian Mountains.
After the American Revolution, the lands of Indiana were open to U.S. settlers. The influx of white immigrants brought increased war with the Native American tribes. The conflicts continued until the 1811 Battle of Tippecanoe, which was won by General, and future president, William Henry Harrison. With a name that is generally thought to mean “land of the Indians,†Indiana was admitted on Dec. 11, 1816, as the 19th state of the union.
The state banner was adopted by the 1917 Indiana General Assembly as part of the celebration of the state's 1916 centennial, after a competition sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution. The prize-winning design was submitted by Paul Hadley of Mooresville, Indiana, a respected Hoosier artist.
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.
Each symbol on the Indiana flag is suffused with deep meaning, thus, every object has something to say. The 13 stars on the outer circle, surrounding the torch are the apt symbols for the 13 original colonies belonging to the United States. There are 5 stars in the inner semi-circle, which stand for the 5 next states that became members of the Union. The single and huge star placed above the burning torch is a perfect signification of the state of Indiana, which was the 19th state to gain admission to the Union. 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.
