The flag of Springfield, Missouri, is a light blue background with a compass rose colored black and white, with a crown hidden in it, and 3 white 4-pointed stars on its' top, behind a white straight stripe.

Symbolism[]

The compass point design represents Springfield's role as a crossroads to the nation. The crown is a reference to Springfield's nickname, Queen City of the Ozarks. The three four-pointed stars represent three elements of the city: innovative spirit, connection with nature and Ozarks culture. A broad white horizontal stripe is meant to symbolize the Ozark Plateau, on which Springfield was built, and Route 66. The light blue background represents Ozarks water and skies.
