Description of the flag

The flag for Boys Town, Nebraska, consists of the seal, in white, on a dark blue field.

Boys Town is a near-enclave of Omaha with an area of 0.95 sq mi (2.45 sq km) and a population of only 410 as of the 2020 census. However, the story behind Boys Town is actually really interesting and is like no other. The village was established in 1917 as the headquarters for the non-profit organization and orphanage Father Flanagan's Boys' Home. The organization is more commonly known as "Boys Town", hence where we get the name. The organization was founded by a man named Father Flanagan. The entire village is a singular National Historic Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
