Men came to Arizona to seek their fortunes - adventurers, prospectors, farmers, businessmen, builders. To protect them against the Indians who fought fiercely to keep back this change in their land, the army also came and built its forts. Only the most brave and hardy pioneers came until the last of the Indian uprisings were finished and final peace won in 1886. Development of the state then surged forward. With the leadership of the pioneers themselves, United States Marshals finally made a peaceful territory of Arizona, where crops, cattle and sheep, as well as mining, all became important in building the future of the state. The birth of the Arizona State Flag can be traced back to the 1910 National Rifle Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio before Arizona officially entered the union. Shooting matches began at Camp Perry in 1907 and rapidly developed into a prestigious annual event that continues to this day.
Members of the visiting Arizona Rifle Team noticed that all of the other "state" rifle teams carried flags or emblems. The Arizona team had no such flag or emblem and brought this to the attention of Arizona National Guard Colonel Charles Wilfred Harris, who was serving as the team captain. The team suggested that a flag is created to represent the Arizona Rifle Team at future National Rifle Matches.
The thought for the configuration of the banner was considered by Colonel Harris and Carl Hayden. Their first needs for the outline were that it contain authentic qualities and that its hues ought to mirror those qualities.
Designed by Colonel Charles W. Harris, the first flag, carried by the Arizona Rifle Team to the National Rifle Matches in 1911, was sewn by Nan D. Hayden. In1912, now serving as Adjutant General of Arizona, Colonel Harris designed a state flag that was similar to the flag that he designed for the Arizona Rifle Team.
Measuring four feet high and six feet wide, the banner is partitioned into a top and base half with a vast five-point copper star in the middle. The Arizona State Flag was received by the Arizona State Legislature in 1917. Historical records show that Arizona politics were at least as prickly 100 years ago as they are today, and the flag design prompted its own kerfuffle. When the Legislature finally adopted the state flag in 1917, the governor refused to sign the bill. Flag Company Inc decided to assist with the history development by providing special decals and banners to make it easy to build a bit of university right at home.
The blue, red, yellow and copper standard was accepted disregarding different differing votes and subsequently Governor Campbell's refusal to sign the bill. Since Arizona is a western part, the beams exhibit a setting sun. The shades of the beams demonstrate red and yellow in the Spanish standards passed on by Coronado when he came to Arizona in 1540. Arizona's main enterprises and attractions are represented in the seal. In the background of the seal is a range of mountains with the sun rising behind the peaks. At the right side of the mountains is a water storage reservoir and a dam, with irrigated fields and orchards. There are cattle grazing on the right, a quartz mill and a miner with a pick and shovel on the left. Above the drawing is the Arizona state motto.
