The three white background areas of the Chicago flag represent, from top to bottom, the North, West and South sides of the city. The top blue stripe represents Lake Michigan and the North Branch of the Chicago River. The bottom blue stripe represents the South Branch of the river and the "Great Canal", over the Chicago Portage. The four stars symbolize historical events, and the points of the stars represent important virtues or concepts.
Unlike most flag makers, we don't paint the image of the flag on a few pieces of wood. With our flags, each stripe and stars are their own piece of wood giving each part of the flag its own unique look. The flag itself is all wood and the stars lay on top giving the flag dimension. No two flags will look the same as each flag we make is one of a kind due to the natural wood grain. Flag is finished with an indoor top coat.Comes ready to hang with wire hanger on back.
