In the 1770s several Spanish explorers came near the area of present-day Nevada but it was not until half a century later that fur traders venturing into the Rocky Mts. publicized the region. Jedediah S. Smith came across S Nevada on his way to California in 1827. The following year Peter Skene Ogden, a Hudson's Bay Company man trading out of the Oregon country, entered NE Nevada. Joseph Walker in 1833-34 followed the Humboldt R. and crossed the Sierra Nevada to California.
Nevada flag was adopted in 1991. Senator Bill Raggio introduced Senate Bill 396 to amend the old flag statute. The amendment was proposed to correct a mistake in what the legislators felt was the intent of the 1929 flag legislation.
The amendment would place the word "Nevada" below the star and above the sprays of sagebrush in a semi-circular pattern which would make "Nevada" on the flag more readable. The Raggio flag amendment would also - for the first time - determine specific colors for the flag, and the type of material and printing method use in its manufacture.
In 1926 a new flag design was created by Louis Shellback III, an artist for the state highway department. At the left, it featured a wreath of the state flower (sagebrush) surrounding a silver star and the motto "Battle born," honoring Nevada's admission to the Union during the Civil War (1861-65).
There were other flag experts who thought the entire flag should be scrapped so they could pick an entirely new state flag that would have a symbol-based flag design without seals or wording on it, like the Alaska, Texas, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico flags. The amendment was approved in 1991, and the current flag was the result.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Nevada 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 inferior to American-made Nevada flags, but 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 Nevada flag for the future.
