About this flag

Adopted when Louisville and Jefferson County merged into one metro government in 2003. It places the new government's seal on a blue field: a gold fleur-de-lis with two stars and the founding year 1778, ringed by "Louisville · Jefferson County · Metro."

The seal artwork was designed by William Glenn Hack, a Louisville native and art director. Flags of the World also records a blue-and-gold variant of unknown origin.
