Question: Who designed Arizona’s flag that was later sewn by Nan Hayden?

Answer: Col. Charles Harris of the Arizona Territory National Guard created the flag’s design in 1910 after Arizona’s rifle team realized it was the only team at a national competition without a flag. Nan Hayden later sewed the first version, which became the basis for Arizona’s official state flag adopted in 1917.
