Our flag was designed by William Todd, the nephew of Mary Todd Lincoln, and was raised in Sonoma in 1846 by American settlers in revolt against Mexican rule. It was officially adopted as the state flag in 1911. The symbols on the flag is the California grizzly bear in the center. It represents strength, the star in the left hand corner represents sovereignty. It's red color signifies courage, and the white background for purity.
