The Collegeport Flag was commissioned by the Woman’s Club to commemorate the Texas Sesquicentennial in 1986. It was designed by Larry W. Corporon, son of Percy V. & LuEllen Fox Corporon. Memories of the war between the states lingered, and some tensions remained between people of the North and the South at the time that the Collegeport area was settled. The flag symbolizes the blending of the cultures of the North (Blue) and the South (Gray) in Collegeport. The “Betsy Ross” Committee was comprised of Helen Jasek, who sewed the flag and assistants, Barbara Jasek Corporon, Donna Waldrop Corporon and Denise Junek Franzen. On Collegeport Day 1986, four flags flew over the community—the flags of the United States, the State of Texas, the Texas Sesquicentennial, and our own Collegeport flag. |
