## History

After the independence of Mexico, Prisciliano Sánchez, governor of the Mexican state from 1825 to 1826, proposed a transitional flag for the state of Jalisco, which consists of three horizontal stripes.

In 2001, Luis Havas announced plans to create a flag for the Mexican state of Jalisco. He proposed the old flag of Manuel Rodríguez, consisting of two blue stripes and a stripe of gold with the State Emblem in the center; it resembled the flag of the New Galicia or Intendence of Guadalajara. A flag was adopted in February 2008, which was then replaced by the current one on 7 May 2011.

On June 16 2023, Enrique Alfaro governor of Jalisco state celebrates 200 years free and sovereign with people of Jalisco. The celebration included the raising of the State Flag and the singing of the State Anthem.
