Yellow-white-dark red vertical tricolor, in ratio 1:2:1 with colored city seal in centered.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 7 August 2000
The first flag of Columbus, adopted 12 February 1912, was the seal/coat of arms on a blue field. A committee convened by city council had chosen it. Although the 1912 council clearly stated that the flag, not the seal,
had a blue field, a modern literal interpretation of the language gave the seal a blue field in the 1976 version of the flag.

In 1976 the seal was given blue background, and the flag was defined as stipulated in the 1929 law (deep yellow - white - red tricolour). Buckeye leaves half-garland as shown on many websites has leaves separated.

In 1929 the law stipulated a flag that is the same as the modern flag, but it was not actually used. The 1912 flag continued in use.
