The flag of West Virginia has had changes over the course of its statehood. The current state flag of WV was adopted March 7th, 1962 by the state legislature. A blue stripe bored on all 4 sides a field of pure white with the states coats of arms in the center of the flag. The West Virginia state seal is wreathed by 2 swags of Rhododendron maximum with a red ribbon above the seal reading "State of West Virginia". The white field is to symbolize purity while the blue represents the bond of the Union. 2 other red ribbons appear on the flag, one tied and one reading "Montani Semper Liberi" which translates to "Mountaineers are always free."

The state's coat of arms features two men; a farmer and a miner, to represent agriculture and industry in the state. The farmer holds an ax and a plow in front of a corn stalk while the miner holds a pickax with a sledgehammer and anvil behind him. The men stand on either side on a boulder which is inscribed with the date "June 20 1863", which is the date West Virginia joined the Union. In front of the boulder laying on the ground are two crossed rifles and a Phrygian cap, also called the cap of Liberty. These are symbolic of the state's fight to obtain liberty.
