Quick Facts

Fishers Flag

The Fishers Flag is comprised of three colors: "Kelly" Green, "Holland" Blue, and "Weaver" White. The green represents Fishers green fields. The blue represents the skies, White River, and Geist Reservoir. The white represents the crossroads of 116th Street and Interstate 69. The angled bar moving upward to the right reflects growth, and the two gold triangles represent balances that symbolize a balanced and fair approach to governance.
