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

silver)

Montana was the 41st state in the USA; it was
admitted in 1889.
