OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- The original Oklahoma state flag is now back in the Sooner state.

The flag designed by Louise Funk Fluke of Ponca City was donated to the state Thursday by Fluke's son and daughter-in-law, George and Virginia Fluke of Houston.

The flag was designed by Louise Fluke in 1925 and adopted by the Legislature on March 25th of that year. It first flew over the state Capitol on April 2nd, 1925.

The only change made to the flag since its adoption is the addition of the word "Oklahoma" in 1941.
