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!
