The flag of Grand Forks has a white field. Two irregular
horizontal stripes, green over dark blue, with a white fimbriation between
them, fill the lower three-eighths of the field. The green stripe is
divided into three sections: two trapezoids on either side, wider at the
hoist and fly and narrower in the center, where a green diamond-shaped
section joins the two trapezoids to depict sloping river banks. The blue
stripe is narrower at the hoist and fly and widens to the center, where a
narrow “V” shape extends along the base of the green diamond, to depict
two river forks forming one larger river that flows outwards. Centered
immediately above the green diamond figure is 1870 in black.
Centered above that date is an abstract notched stalk of yellow
vegetation, crossed over a red feather with a black tip and quill. Over these, in
a semi-circle arching clockwise from the midpoint of the hoist side to
the midpoint of the fly side, is Grand Forks, North Dakota in black.
