Flag of Oregon

The flags of the United States and Oregon in Portland, Oregon

The flag of Oregon is a blue field on which are placed, on the obverse, the seal of Oregon with the words "State of Oregon" in block letters above and the year of statehood, 1859, below. On the reverse is placed a figure of a beaver, the state animal. The ratio of the flag's height to length is 3:5. ^[1]

It is generally rare for any flag to have differing symbolism on its two sides, and such designs are considerably more expensive to manufacture. The Oregon flag is the only current state flag in the United States that has this characteristic. ^[2]
