Nevada is the seventh largest of the 50 states but is one of the most sparsely populated. Carson City, in the western part of the state, is the capital. Gambling is legal in Nevada, and Las Vegas, the state's largest city, is known internationally for its opulent casinos and as an entertainment destination. Nevada is also home to the Hoover Dam, which was the single largest public works project in the history of the United States, and Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the country.
The current Nevada Flag has been in effect from 1st October 1991, when a certain change in the arrangement of the state name was made The Nevada Flag history states that the design of the flag was implemented on 26th March 1929.
Prior to that in 1905, the first flag reflected the reputed gold and silver or the mineral resources of the state in bold letters. The state coat of arms was well displayed in the flag of 1915. At the bottom of the emblem were the words, "All for our country."
The background color chosen was Pantone 286 blue, what most people now call a royal blue. Specific Pantone colors were also chosen for the other colors in the flag. There were a few people who thought that the background color of the flag should be the same color as the field in the American flag (Old Glory Blue) - the same color as the previous Nevada flags.
At the time of the flag's adoption in 1929, state representative C.C. Boak recommended that the name of the state be added to the emblem. Contrary to his wishes, however, the letters of the state name were arranged around the star. The current Nevada flag, which became official on October 1, 1991, reflects his intention, with the letters of the name shown in a single line beneath the star.
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.
