Prior to the arrival of European and Mexican explorers, roughly 8,000 Native Americans representing two distinct groups inhabited Idaho: the Great Basin Shoshone and Bannock tribes of the Shoshone-Bannock and the Shoshone. Spanish explorers made trips to the Northwest beginning in 1592. Spaniards introduced pigs, horses, domestic fowl, tomatoes, beans, corn and garlic to the Native Americans of the Northwest. Lewis and Clark were the first Euro-Americans to set foot on what is now known as Idaho.
Idaho produces more potatoes and trout than any other state in the nation and is known as the "Gem State" for the 72 types of precious and semi-precious stones it produces some of which are exclusive to the state.
The Idaho Flag was adopted on 15th March in 1927 for the first time though its origins can be traced back to 1907. The present Idaho Flag was effective from 1st March 1957. The Legislature of Idaho made certain modifications on the Idaho State seal in order to stress on the chief industries of Idaho, which are mining, forestry and agriculture. The state of Idaho became the 43rd state of the US on 3rd July 1890. The designer of the state seal was Emma Edwards-Green, the only American woman to ever design the official seal of a US state.
March 5, 1866, Idaho Territory adopted its first official seal, representing mountains below a new moon, a steamer on the Shoshone River, figures of Liberty and Peace, an elk’s head, and agricultural produce. A similar seal, with a rising sun replacing the moon and a miner instead of Peace, was adopted for the new state on March 14, 1891, and appears today in the state flag. The 1891 state seal is the only such American design to have been created by a woman, Emma Edwards (later Emma Edwards Green).
The state seal on the Idaho Flag stands for the main activities and industries of the state. The vegetables, fruit and the sheaf of wheat represent the agriculture practiced in Idaho. The miner is emblematic of the state's mineral resources and mining industry. The woman stands for justice, liberty and equality. The elk is a representation of all the species of fauna found in the state while the pine tree signifies the natural riches and timber industry of Idaho.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Idaho flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Idaho flag for the future.
