Vexillophiles rejoice! In this episode of Show-Me History, we explore the evolution of St. Louis's municipal flag. Initially, the city struggled to adopt a flag, with early designs rejected due to their unpopularity. A revised flag was created and is now ranked among the top five city flags in the U.S., and in 2020, it won a global contest for best municipal flag.
