The original Utah State Flag consisted of a solid white state seal on a light blue
background which was adopted by the State Legislature in 1896 and revised in 1913. The Utah State Flag, as we know it
today, was originally designed for the battleship Utah in 1912. It was later made the official flag of Utah when
Governor William Spry signed House Joint Resolution I in 1913.
