List of Indiana state symbols

This is a list of state symbols of Indiana. The majority of the items in the list are officially recognized symbols created by an act of the Indiana General Assembly and signed into law by the governor. They are listed in Indiana Code Title 1, Article 2, State Emblems. Indiana is a state with few official symbols, and many were designated more than 40 years ago. The first symbol was the seal, which was made official in 1801 for the Indiana Territory. It has been changed many times since, most recently in 1963.
