Text Box: Wyoming entered the Union in 1890 as the 44th State, and the flag adopted in 1917. The State seal appears on a silhouette of a bison, familiar to 19th century settlers. The red is for Native Americans, white for purity, and blue for the sky, justice, and loyalty. Verna Keays of Buffalo, Wyoming designed the state flag. Her design was selected from thirty-seven designs submitted in a contest conducted by the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Esther Hobart Morris (1812-1902) was the first woman to be appointed as a justice of the peace.  She was influential in woman suffrage in Wyoming, which was the first state to give women the right to vote and hold office.

The Wyoming Territorial Act, which granted this right to women, became law in 1869.  Amid controversy, the suffrage clause remained in the constitution when Wyoming  was admitted into the Union in 1890.  It was the 44th state admitted and is known as The Equality State.

Statue by sculptor Avard Fairbanks is displayed in front of the Wyoming State Capitol Building in Cheyenne.
