The flag was created in 1976 by local artist James Pearl, who won a contest sponsored by the Frederick County Bicentennial Committee. The final flag design was presented by Dana Kiester, Frederick County Bicentennial Committee Chair, and was presented and approved by the Board of County Commissioners on March 15, 1976.
