The municipal flag of Louisville consists of a golden fleur-de-lis with two stars surrounded by the circular Louisville • Jefferson County METRO on a blue background. The year 1778 is also centrally located, signifying the city's founding.
This flag has been used since the merger of the old city of Louisville with Jefferson County in 2003.
Former flag
The former flag of Louisville
The flag previously used by the city consists of 13 white stars arranged in a circular pattern in the upper-left corner with three golden fleur-de-lis in the lower-right on a navy blue background. The stars represent the 13 states which existed at Louisville's founding in 1778, while Kentucky was part of Virginia. The fleur-de-lis are in honor of King Louis XVI of France, after whom Louisville was named because of the support of France during the American Revolution. It was ranked as the ninth best city flag in the United States in a national survey in 2003 and was replaced when the city merged with Jefferson County.
