Description of the flag

According to a 1973 article from The Times-Republican, the small town of Lineville, Iowa has a flag. The flag is diagonally divided (bottom left to top right) into two fields. There was a giant yellow L in the middle. In the top left corner reads "IA." and the bottom right corner "MO." both in yellow. The article states that the colors of the fields were red and blue respectively but doesn't clarify which is which.

Using color theory, we can assume that the darker color -- the field on top -- is the blue one and the bottom field is the red one. The flag was made by Clayton Haner.

Lineville is a tiny town in Wayne County, Iowa that borders Missouri and the even smaller town of South Lineville. As of the 2020 census, Lineville has 195 people and South Lineville has only 13!
