The flag of North Dakota represents the U.S. state of North Dakota. Adopted on March 11, 1911, its design is an almost exact replica of the regimental banner carried by the state's troop contingent in the Philippine–American War (1899–1902), the only difference being that the unit designation inscribed on the scroll was replaced by the state's name.
