History

Johnson County is named for Rev. Thomas Johnson, and was one of the first counties established in the Kansas Territory in 1855. The Oregon-California and Santa Fe Trails, which originated in nearby Independence, Missouri, passed through the county. The renowned gunfighter Wild Bill Hickok settled for a time in the county, becoming constable of Monticello Township in 1858. The county was largely rural until the early 20th Century, when communities such as Overland Park and Mission Hills were developed as suburbs of Kansas City, Missouri. Suburban development boomed after World War II." - from Wikipedia

According to this newspaper clipping on eBay, the flag of Johnson County was the first place entry in a Johnson County flag design competition, and was submitted by Shelly Moore, a senior at Shawnee Mission North High School at the time. Ninety-six entries were submitted to the competition. The flag seems to have been adopted on the 2 February 1973, which is the date on the newspaper clipping.
