Montana's official flag was adopted
in 1905. It has a deep blue field with Montana
written in yellow, with the state seal below.
The seal pictures a beautiful Montana landscape:
the Rocky Mountains; cliffs; a waterfall; and
river beneath a golden sky with white clouds and
white sun rays. A plow represents agriculture;
a pick and shovel represent mining. A ribbon below
the scene states Montana's motto.
Capital: Helena
Nickname: Treasure State
Motto: Oro y plata (Gold and
silver)
Flower: Bitterroot (1895)
Montana was the 41st state in the USA; it was
admitted in 1889.
