The great city flag of Wichita, Kansas was adopted in 1937. Designed by a local artist from South Wichita, Cecil McAlister, it represents freedom, happiness, contentment and home.

The blue sun in the center represents happiness and contentment. A symbol similar but not identical to the Zia sun symbol is stitched on the blue sun. The Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce has made the unsubstantiated claim that it is a "Native American Hogan symbol [that] signifies 'permanent home.'" The three red and white rays that alternate from the off-center blue sun represent the path of freedom to come and go as one pleases.

Selected from more than 100 entries that were submitted for a city flag design contest, it was officially adopted on Flag Day, June 14, 1937, by Mayor T. Walker Weaver. The first Wichita flag was produced by local seamstress Mary J. Harper. It flew for the first time on July 23, 1937, over City Hall.
