Description of the flag

The City of Jackson is named for Andrew Jackson, a military hero of the Creek War and later President of the United States. He passed through the county with his troops in 1813. Jackson was incorporated just three years later, in 1816. It had originally been named Pine Level after the land company that laid out the new town. With a population of approximately 5,300, Jackson is Clarke County's largest city. It serves as a trade center for areas of north Washington County as well as portions of Choctaw County to the west."
