Utah's first state flag finally found
2010
Overview
[Ronald Fox] met flag expert John Hartvigsen in December 2009. Hartvigsen remembered seeing a beautifully embroidered 1922 Utah flag in the Utah State Historical Society Museum's collection. Fox knew that the 1922 flag wasn't listed in the museum's index of cataloged items. \"That led me to believe that (the 1903) flag was there,\" Fox said. The 1903 blue-and-white flag's reign as Utah's official flag was short-lived. After President Theodore Roosevelt announced plans for the USS Utah, a full-color flag was created for the battleship. That design, with minor changes, became the new Utah state flag by legislative decree in 1913. 1922: Emma W. \"Dolly\" McMonegal creates beautiful multicolored embroidered flag of Utah. She forgets to put the year 1847 on the flag and has to add it later below the shield. All current Utah flags are based on this version of the flag -- even though state law requires 1847 to be on the shield, not below it.
