Tucson (O'odham: Cuk Ṣon; Spanish: Tucsón) is a city in Pima County, Arizona, United States, and its county seat.
Description[]
The flag of Tucson features the city seal on a plain white background.
City Seal[]
The seal consists of text surrounding it reading "City of Tucson" at the top and "Arizona" at the bottom (both in all caps), as well as a yin and yang-like design with yellow and blue/purple. The yellow part of the seal contains the skyline of Tucson in 1949; the blue/purple part contains the Mission San Xavier del Bac.
History[]
The flag was designed by Mary Crowfoot for a contest for a new city seal; after creating the design in 1949, the design became the official seal and part of the official flag on January 5, 1953. The flag has a 3:5 ratio, but previous designs had other ratios, such as 4:5 and 8:13.
