Symbolism
The Illinois River is featured prominently in the bottom right
corner to symbolize how our region’s growth flows from this resource. The yellow
circle and the blue border form the letter “P,” representative of the County’s
name. Blue represents water and the natural resources in our county. Green
stands for our agricultural roots, an industry that is still significant in the
area. Gold symbolizes our innovation across all industries in Peoria County.
Background
The Peoria County Flag design was submitted by resident Aaron
Broomfield during a community-wide contest. Of the three finalists, his design
garnered 60% of the more than 1700 votes cast, and it was unveiled to the public
at the Peoria Riverfront Museum on October 22, 2022. The flag will officially be
adopted at the November 10, 2022, Peoria County Board meeting.
