Adopted in 1817, the flag has two horizontal bands of white and red, with a blue square in the upper left corner containing a white five-pointed star. The white represents the snow of the Andes, blue the sky, red the blood spilled for independence, and the star guides progress and honor.
The Chilean flag is often confused with the US state flag of Texas, leading to its frequent misuse in social media as a substitute for the Texas flag.
Adopted: 1817
