The flag was later revised several times to add more distinctive features. The last change was made in 1981 to add the word "Wisconsin" in white capital letters above the Coat of Arms and the year of statehood, 1848, centered below it.Wisconsin's state flag includes the Coat of Arms which represents valued natural resources and the contributions of early pioneers to the state's development. The sailor and the "yeoman" or miner,  symbolize the type of work that people did in 1863 at the time the flag was made. There are symbols for agriculture (plow), mining (pick and shovel), manufacturing (arm and hammer), and navigation (anchor). The badger is a state animal. It represents the name given to the lead miners. All of the symbols on the flag represent a richness in natural resources.   Read more about the Wisconsin State Flag at the Wisconsin Historical Society.
