Description of the flag
On a recent trip to Madison,
Virginia, I found that the county had recently adopted a flag. A
picture of the flag was in the local newspaper, and I've recreated it
for you here. Apparently, the county had hired a local woman back in
1999 to design a flag for the county. After two years of work, the
woman created the attached design, which was adopted by the Madison
County Board of Supervisors. The flag is a white field with the county
seal centered on it. The county seal features the county
courthouse, located in the town of Madison, flanked by shrubs. The
courthouse was designed by Thomas Jefferson. Beneath the courthouse, in
orange, is the date "1792," which is the year that Madison County was
created out of neighboring Culpeper County. The courthouse is
surrounded by fifteen orange stars, indicating that Madison was
Virginia's 15th county. And the name of the county appears on a scroll
beneath the courthouse.
