In 1859, a star was added, representing Oregon, bringing the total number of stars on the U.S. flag to 33. There were thirteen stripes representing the thirteen original colonies.

The flag of Oregon was adopted in 1925.
Its colors are navy blue with gold lettering and symbol. A shield is a part of the state seal, surrounded by 33 stars and under the shield is written "1859" - the year Oregon was admitted to the union as the 33rd state. The flag's reverse side depicts a beaver.
