The flag was designed by John Wagner, a resident of Kelley, who began his
work in 2020 and presented 2 versions to the city council in April 2022. The
designs were voted on by other residents, and a winner was announced in the city
newsletter in July 2022. Owing to the designer's request, the flag was first
flown in front of city hall in December 2022.
The flag's description in
the July 2022 ballot.
Inspiration from Norway's flag, because the town was predominantly Norwegian
when it was founded.
The middle stripe represents the single road that

the railroad tracks it used to be
The star represents the city itself,
the center of which the road passes directly through.
