According to the Yuma Sun, the City of Yuma needed a symbol it could "wrap
around all that forward thinking and activity around" after city government
goals were outlined. The city seal (and original version of the city flag) were
designed by Bob Ingram of Ingram Designs and Associates. It was first hoisted on
the morning of May 4, 1995 in front of the city hall after being presented to
Mayor Marilyn Young the day before at a city council meeting.
This flag
certainly did not have text on it. The text below the seal is a more modern
invention, as it is known that this logo was unveiled in April 2015. As such, it
is known for certain the new version of the flag was adopted that year.

The seal was originally intended as a logo, although it has replaced the
previous seal in every function. It depicts the confluence of the Colorado and
Gila rivers that formed Yuma Crossing. It is done in the southwestern colors of
purple for mountains, copper for the city, and turquoise for the rivers. Native
American influence is felt in the flag, with the jagged Native symbols for
mountains and rivers. Today, the version with text below the seal functions as
the city's logo.
The first version of the seal with the generic format
was adopted on December 14, 1915. I did not receive information from the city
regarding the previous seal, which displays a cactus and the sun.
