History of the North Dakota State Flag: From 1899-1902, the North Dakota 1st Volunteer Infantry fought for the United States in the Phillipine-American War. The North Dakota flag is almost exactly the same as their flag with the only difference being "North Dakota" embroidered in a ribbon across the bottom. This flag was adopted by the Legislative Assembly in 1911. In 1953, there was a proposed bill to change the state flag because it so closely resembled the United States Coat of Arms. The bill was defeated, leaving the flag as it is today.
