Chicago Flag: Meaning and History

History of the flag

Adopted in 1917, the Chicago city flag was designed by American lawyer and vexillographer Wallace Rice.

It reflects the civic pride and strong identity of the Windy City's inhabitants.

What do the elements of the flag mean?

The stars echo major events : - Fort Dearborn, - the Great Fire of 1871, - the World's Fair of 1893, - the World's Fair of 1933-34.
Symbolizes the north, west and south of the city.
Embodies Lake Michigan to the east and the Chicago River.
