District of Columbia
(Washington D.C.) Flag
For over a century, the District of Columbia was without an official flag and flew several unofficial banners, usually the flag of the D.C. National Guard. In 1938, Congress established a commission to choose an official, original design. The commission ended up choosing in a public competition a design by Charles A.R. Dunn, a graphic designer. His design was officially adopted on October 15, 1938. In 2002, the D.C. city council debated a proposal to change the flag in protest of the District's lack of voting rights in Congress. The new design would have added the letters "D.C." to the center star and the words "Taxation Without/ Representation" in white to the two red bars. The change presumably would have been temporary and revoked once the city achieved equal representation or statehood. It passed the city council on a 10-2 vote but support for the proposal soon eroded and the mayor never signed the bill. Emblems and designs are executed with the highest possible degree of accuracy in regard to detail, color shades, placement and proportion to flag size.
All flags banners are two-sided and come standard with two metal grommets. They are easily mounted on a flag pole or used as a wall hanging. The flags we sell are typically 14% - 64% heavier and are better stitched to assure durability.
