The Twelve Flags over California Display in Santa Barbara, CA is a historical exhibit located on Stearns Wharf. It features twelve flagpoles displaying replicas of the flags that have flown over California throughout its recorded history, along with informative plaques providing the history of each flag.
This display commemorates the cultural diversity of California and pays tribute to Cedric Boeseke, an officer of the Santa Barbara Flag Project, who made significant contributions to education, business, and civic beautification in the South Coast region. The replicas of the flags, some of which are informed deductions of the originals, serve as a reminder of the various conquerors, settlers, royalties, and rebellions that have shaped the history of California.
