The city flag of St. Louis, Missouri: The wavy blue lines represent the joining of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. The yellow disc is a gold coin for commerce (or the Louisiana Purchase), and the fleur de lis represents the city's origin as a French fur trading outpost. The choice in colors also represents the four empires that have ruled the area in turn: Spain, Bourbon France, Napoleonic France, and the United States.
