History
Idaho had been an American state since July 3, 1890. [4] In 1898, the First Idaho Volunteer Infantry was presented with a blue flag displaying the Great Seal of Idaho. After the Spanish-American War, their battle flag was modified for a state flag design in 1904. This design has since been updated. [5]
