Mentor City Council Adopts Official Flag, Reflecting State and Local Heritage

In April 1988, the Mentor City Council officially adopted a new city flag, crafted by Brad Frost, winner of a contest organized by the Mentor Headlands Amvets Post #40, Ladies Auxiliary. The flag's design features a distinctive burgee shape, mirroring the Ohio State Flag. It showcases a large blue triangle that symbolizes the hills and valleys of Ohio, while the stripes signify the state’s roads and waterways. At the center of the flag, a white circle with a cardinal—the state and Mentor’s official bird—highlights the “O” in Ohio. Encircling this are six stars, representing the six superior townships identified in the Western Reserve in 1797, including Mentor as a prominent member.
