Flag of Downey, California - Color Changing Coffee Mug

The Flag of Downey, California is the official symbol representing the city of Downey. Adopted on October 30, 1957, the design features a blue field with a white stylized olive tree in the center. This tree alludes to Downey's historical significance as the home of the Richardson Olive Oil Company, once the world's largest olive oil producer. Surrounding this central image are three gold stars and one gold star within a circle. The three outer stars signify Downey's status as one of California's original "Three R's Cities" (Rancho Rosario, Rancho Rio Vista, and Rancho La Reola), while the single star within a circle represents the city's incorporation in 1890. The flag serves as a visual reminder of Downey's rich history and its connection to California's agricultural past.
