{"title":"California Bear Flag – Made in the USA","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe California Bear Flag – History and Meaning\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe California Bear Flag has one of the most recognizable designs of any state flag in the country. A grizzly bear walks across a white field, a bold red stripe runs along the bottom, a lone red star stands in the upper left corner, and the words \"CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC\" are printed across the center. It is instantly recognizable and unmistakably Californian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flag traces its roots to June 1846, when a group of American settlers in Sonoma raised a hastily made banner declaring California an independent republic — the Bear Flag Republic. The revolt lasted less than a month before California came under U.S. control, but the flag's design endured. California officially adopted the Bear Flag as its state flag in 1911, and it has flown as the symbol of the Golden State ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you call it the Bear Flag, the California Republic flag, or the California state flag, it is the same flag — and every one we sell is made in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCalifornia Bear Flag Sizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur California Bear Flags are available in the following sizes.
