Description of the flag

The City of Utica (60,651 inhabitants in 2000; 43 sq. km), incorporated in 1832, is the seat of Oneida County.

On 6 May 2009, "WKTV News" reports the return of the city flag brought to Afghanistan by Rick Redmond, Captain in the New York Army National Guard. A photo shows the flag as white with a yellow border and the city's seal in the middle. The seal of Utica features a bucolic scene featuring a native, surrounded by a yellow ring with the writings "SEAL OF THE CITY OF UTICA" and "UNUNDADAGES."
The video footage also available does not bring more information on the flag.

Alexander R. Thomas. In Gotham's Shadow - Globalization and Community Change in Central New York. State University of New York Press, 2003. Quoting pp. 16-17:
"The first European explorers of the Mohawk river traveled west from the Hudson through a narrow valley that, ninety miles upstream, broadens into the ancient great lakes floodplain. Near the site of this widening, was a site the Iroquois called "Unundadages", a fording spot at the bend along one of the river's many meanders. The Iroquois had utilized this spot as a crossing point for several trails, including the westwards Seneca trail."

The landscape shown on the seal must represent an idyllic vision of the spot.
