The City of Jackson has a new flag. Jackson City Council chose the flag design after opening the design contest to city residents. A committee of city officials and community members chose the design submitted by Jana Davis, a mail carrier in the City of Jackson. The Council agreed that Davis’s winning design represents the City “very well.” Her design divides the flag into halves of green and maroon with a circle of stars in the middle. Councilmembers suggested some modifications to the design including increasing the number of stars in the middle circle from 24 to 47 in recognition of those miners who died in the Argonaut Mine Disaster. They also suggested adding the words “City of Jackson” and “1905” around the city outline.
