Iowa entered the Union in 1846 as the 29th State.
Iowa adopted its flag in 1921. The eagle and motto ribbon are found in the State seal. The stripes recall the French Tricolor since Iowa was acquired from France as part of the Louisiana Purchase.
Iowa state flags, flag decals, and Iowa state deal decals are available from FlagLine.com.
