The Jasper County board unanimously adopted a new county flag design Thursday.
County Board Chairman Jason Warfel said the county flag commission met Feb. 12, where they made a final recommendation to the county board of a unity flag with the eagle.
“The royal blue on the flag symbolizes patriotism, the circle on the flag symbolizes unity. The smaller stars symbolize the 11 townships within the border of Jasper County. The eagle symbolizes our national bird, our school mascot, and also combines the large population of eagles here in Jasper County,” Warfel said.
He he said the blue in the middle represents the Embarras River, a natural stream running through the county. The fields depicted in orange symbolize agriculture and growth, and the orange and blue also symbolize Jasper County Community Unit One school colors.
The county board members all voted unanimously, confirming the unity design as the new flag for Jasper County.
