Johnson County, Iowa (U.S.) (original) (raw)

Known Flag - indicates flag is known.
No Known Flag - indicates it is reported that there is no known flag.

Back in 2002, the Iowa State Association of Counties website hosted an account of each county's history, signed by its County Recorder, and illustrated with a black and white flag image. It is not clear whether these flag images were provided by the county administration or not.

Archived copies of the pages about Johnson County is still at web.archive.org/web/*/www.iowacounties.org/County+Info/History+Pages/johnson.htm and web.archive.org/web/*/www.iowacounties.org/County+Info/Flags/Johnson.htm. It is a ~2:3 plain light (white?) flag showing a large emblem centered on it. This emblem consists of a disc filled with a local landscape scene featuring a building (apparently not the Johnson County courthouse (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson_County_Courthouse_%28Iowa%29) and a ploughed field, surrounded by lettering reading "Johnson County - Iowa Sesquicentennial" (above) and "1846 - 1996" (below) set in black (?) serif capitals.
