Flag of Fresno, California - Color Changing Coffee Mug

The Flag of Fresno, California is the official symbol representing the city of Fresno, located in the central San Joaquin Valley. Adopted on May 18, 2006, the flag was designed by local artist and educator Richard Yost. The design includes five main elements: a shield, a wheat stalk, a sunflower, an almond branch, and three stars arranged in the shape of a triangle. The shield is divided into four quarters, with each quarter representing one of Fresno's historical periods: Native American heritage, Spanish exploration, Mexican rule, and American settlement. The wheat stalk symbolizes agriculture, the sunflower represents the valley's golden hills, and the almond branch stands for the city's agricultural diversity. The three stars denote Fresno County's status as the largest county by area in California. The flag serves as a visual reminder of Fresno's rich history, its strong agricultural roots, and its continued growth and development. It is flown proudly across the city to symbolize unity, resilience, and the spirit of Fresno.
