Chicago Illinois Flag – A Symbol of Heritage and Pride

The City of Chicago flag is more than just a banner—it is a cherished emblem that embodies the rich history, culture, and resilience of the Windy City. With its striking yet simple design, this flag represents Chicago’s past, present, and future, making it a proud symbol for residents and admirers alike.

Modeled After the Original Design

Furthermore, our Chicago flags are meticulously crafted to reflect the authentic design originally created in 1917 by Wallace Rice. Staying true to the original vision, we ensure that every detail is precise—from the clean white background symbolizing purity and unity to the two bold horizontal blue stripes representing the waterways that have shaped the city’s development, including Lake Michigan and the Chicago River.

At the heart of the flag are four iconic six-pointed red stars, each representing pivotal moments in Chicago’s history.

• The first star commemorates Fort Dearborn, a crucial military post and one of the city’s earliest settlements.
• The second star represents The Great Chicago Fire of 1871, a disaster that led to an unprecedented period of urban rebirth.
• The third star honors The 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, a world-renowned event that showcased Chicago’s architectural and cultural innovation.
• The fourth star signifies The 1933-1934 Century of Progress Exposition, highlighting Chicago’s advancements in science, industry, and technology.

These elements combine to create a flag that is more than just a piece of fabric—it is a testament to the resilience, ambition, and unity of Chicagoans.
