The Magnolia Flag was the first official flag of Mississippi. It was the official state flag from 1861 until 1865 and unofficially until 1894. The flag consisted of a white background, a Magnolia tree in the center, a blue field in the upper left hand corner with a white star in the center, and a red border at right hand side of the flag.
