Resident of Carbon County, Chris Lukasevich responded that the flag was the result of a flag contest done in late 1992 for the 1993 Carbon County 150th anniversary. The winner was Victor Mikus from Lansford. He was also granted a hundred dollar bond along with the designer of the county seal, Kathy Long from Lehighton, and the designer of the 150th anniversary postage cancellation mark, Mary Steeg from Albrightsville.
