Flag of Campbell County
The following is a description of the flag of Campbell County and what it's
symbolism represents:
In honor of Arthur Campbell, after whom Campbell County is named, the colors are
gold with crimson lettering. Arthur Campbell was of Scottish heritage whose
colors are black and gold.
On a circular field with borders are the words, Campbell County Tennessee USA,
two stars and the date 1806, the year in which Campbell County was created. The
two stars represent the northern and southern areas of Campbell County.
In the center of the circular field are the four pillars of the front portico of
the Campbell County Courthouse. These ionic columns represent the mountains,
valleys, streams, and lakes of Campbell County.
Above the symbolic courthouse are the Roman numerals for the number twenty-six,
representing the fact that Campbell County was the twenty-sixth county to be
created in the state of Tennessee.
Four symbols of a plow, representing the clearing of the frontier land as our
great county was formed; forests and woodlands, and a sheaf of wheat
representing the agricultural nature of the county; a pick and shovel reflecting
the coal mining heritage of the county.
