''For over 50-years California was flag-less, without an official state emblem. By the turn of the 20th Century, many in the Golden State began
to advocate for an official state flag. The Native Sons of the Golden West lobbied the California Legislature to use their marching banner as the basis for an official flag. In 1911, the California Legislature passed a bill that settled on a basic design, a red star and strip, grizzly bear and wording. Though the basic elements were agreed upon, no one single design was specified. As a result, many different versions of the “official flag” were flown for the next 40-years.''
