Theflag ofRochester, New York was designed in 1910 and adopted as the city's official flag in 1934. The design consists of a rectangle with blue, white, and yellow vertical stripes. The middle white stripe displays the Rochester family coat of arms, featuring a crane above three crescents.[1][2]
Interest in a flag for the city was raised by the localchamber of commerce during an industrial exhibition in 1910. A design by David E. Spear, Jr. was designated by MayorHiram Edgerton on September 15, 1910.[3] The city council later adopted this design as an official flag in 1934, but it was seldom displayed after.[1]
Mayor Malik Evans announced plans to change the city flag in 2026 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Rochester city mark.[4] The new flag will feature the city's iconic, trademarked "flower" logo, which is commonly mistaken for the official flag.[1]
The Rochester Public Library gives the following description of the flag's symbolism:[1]
