FLAG DESCRIPTION / HISTORY
Year Adopted: 1917
The flag of Chicago has two broad horizontal blue stripes, each one-sixth of the flag height and each slightly less than one-sixth the distance from top and bottom of the flag, with four six-pointed red stars between the stripes. (ref Chicago Municipal Code, Chapter XXII, 1016) The shades of blue and red are not specified. The earliest 1917 flag had two red stars closest to the hoist. The four current stars represent left to right; Fort Dearborn (added 1939), the Chicago Fire of 1871, World Columbian Exposition of 1893, and Exposition of 1933 (added 1933).
