Description of the flag

The flag was unveiled on September 19, 2025 during the county's bicentennial, after a multi-month long contest from May to June, which the entries were evaluated and organized and then voted on by the public from June to July at the county fair and jail museum.

The rules for the contest were:

  • Design elements can include the natural features of the county, the history and culture of the county.
  • No limit on flag shape or ratio but designs may be edited by the committee.
  • No limit on color but we recommend less than four colors for clarity of design.
  • There should be no watermarks or frames around the image.
  • By submitting a design to the committee, the designer is authorizing the committee and the County of Schuyler to take ownership of the design.
  • Persons under 18 may submit designs if submitted in coordination with a parent/guardian, teacher or adult mentor.
  • Designs cannot be copied from other designs or use existing logos or copyright materials; however, the design can include elements or reproduction of the County Seal or prior County flag.
  • Designs cannot be AI-generated.
  • Submissions are limited to one per person.

The new county flag, designed by Christian Cunningham features a vertical tribe of red, white and blue, with the county outline in purple centered with the Schuyler County Courthouse steeple and 13 yellow stars in a circle that represents the county's 13 townships, with the county's establishment year underneath.

The previous county flag was adopted in 1976 during a flag contest hosted by the Jr. Women's Club during Westward Trails 1976, which was won by Larry Joe Burke, and produced by Sarah Trone. It was first displayed at the Schuyler County Fair on July 8, 1976.

The flag is a white field with two tribars or red-white-blue on both the hoist and fly sides of the flag. In the center is the county in red, with a white star in the center. above is the county name and the county's establishment year underneath.
