This flag is a representation of Appalachia’s unique culture and natural beauty. The green mountains at the bottom represent the lush green slopes that form the foundation of Appalachia. The blue mountains in the middle represent the rivers and the distinctive blue haze of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The gold at the top represents the sunrise over the mountains, symbolizing hope for the future of all Appalachians. The off-white star shape in the center represents the rhododendron flower and the traditional quilting and barn quilting found throughout the region. Together, these colors and symbols represent the natural beauty, sense of mystery, hope for the future, and strong sense of community that define Appalachia.
