The battleship U.S.S. Arkansas was to be commissioned and the Pine Bluff chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution voted to present an Arkansas State Flag to the ship. The committee dutifully sent a letter off to Secretary of State Earl W. Hodges to learn more about the flag. They received a reply to their letter explaining that Arkansas had no state flag.
In 1910, the keel was laid for the U.S. Navy's newest battleship, the Wyoming-class USS Arkansas. Early in 1912, with Arkansas scheduled commissioning just nine months away, the Pine Bluff chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution resolved to present a "stand of colors" (a national flag, a naval battalion ensign, and a state flag) to the new ship.
Sixty-five sections were taken in distinctive configurations, from pastel drawings to little silk banners. A considerable lot of the sections included the state bloom, the Apple Blossom, in distinctive settings. The passage picked was a red, white and blue outline by Miss Willie Hocker of Wabbaseka.
After due deliberation, the committee chose a red, white, and blue design submitted by Willie Kavanaugh Hocker. Hocker's design featured a rectangular red field upon which was centered a white rhombus diamond bordered by twenty-five white stars on a blue band. Three blue stars, centered on the flag's horizontal axis on a white field within the rhombus, completed the plan.
This time uproar came from those who claimed the addition of the fourth star compromised the original meaning and symmetry of the design. So, in 1924, the Arkansas Legislature addressed the design of the state flag again. The original three stars were moved below the state name and the additional star was centered above the state name. This is the way the flag is today.
The banner shows a white precious stone on a red field. The white precious stone is circumscribed by a band of blue containing a quarter century. The state name is focused in the precious stone. Three stars are put underneath the state name and one is focused over the state name.
