Mexico’s state flags

Thirty-one states and a capital, most flying their coat of arms on plain white, with a few that have flags with real stories behind them.

Most Mexican states have never adopted a flag in law. What flies at state buildings is usually the state’s coat of arms on a white field, and only a handful of states have made a distinct flag official.
