Georgia State Flag 1956–2001 – Historic Confederate-Inspired Banner | Outdoor Double Nylon Embroidered & Double Sided (see pics)

Also referred to as the Old Georgia Flag or Georgia Battle Flag, this was the official state flag of Georgia from February 13, 1956, to January 30, 2001. The design prominently features the Confederate Battle Flag (Southern Cross) across two-thirds of the banner, adopted amid political resistance to federal civil rights rulings like Brown v. Board of Education. The remaining third incorporates a vertical blue bar.

Introduced by lawmakers John Sammons Bell, Jefferson Lee Davis, and Willis Harden, this version marked a contentious chapter in Georgia’s political and cultural history. Though repealed in 2001, the city of Trenton, Georgia, later adopted it as their municipal flag following a 2005 local referendum.

The design traces back to Georgia’s 19th-century militia flags and stands as one of the longest-used Southern state banners.
