In 2011 the Newton County Commission authorized the first official county flag. The Newton County Courthouse 75th Anniversary Planning Committee wanted a flag which would stand out in crowd. Kay Hively, a member of the planning committee, offered to assist with the design.
Fortunately, Newton County is the perfect shape and dimension to become a flag. As designed, the new flag has an Old Glory Blue field with gold stars scattered across the flag. These gold stars represent the villages, towns, and cities of Newton County. In keeping with the United States Flag the color blue stands for “vigilance, perseverance, and justice” and the stars represent “the heavens and the divine goal to which man has aspired from time immemorial.” Slightly off center on the flag is the largest star which depicts the County Seat located in Neosho. Gold letters surrounding the star state “Newton County Missouri 1838”. Using population figures and historical data provided by County statistics the stars are Placed geographically to represent towns and villages. The cluster of stars in the northwest corner of the flag represents that part of Joplin and her suburbs which lie within the boundaries of Newton County. The flag serves a reminder that Newton County is, always had been, and always will forever be, the home of Gold Star Communities. |
