Doña Ana County's flag consists of the county logo/seal on a plain white background. George Gray of Las Cruces designed the Doña Ana County seal in 1958. The county sponsored a contest for a design, and he entered his rendition hoping to win the grand prize of a $25 savings bond. An art teacher at Las Cruces High School at the time, Mr. Gray said he designed the seal with the zia symbol to represent the State of New Mexico, the conquistador to represent the county's history and our ties to Mexico and Spain, the Organ Mountains and Rio Grande to represent the county's two major geographical landmarks, the rocket to represent White Sands Missile Range, the lamp of learning to represent New Mexico State University, and the cotton boll and chile pod to represent the Mesilla Valley's agricultural heritage. The seal today remains exactly as he designed it in 1958. Mr. Gray is now retired, but he still lives in Las Cruces.

According to this article by the Las Cruces Sun-News, the Doña Ana county
flag was prepared for and first unveiled publicly at the County Day celebrations
on October 2, 1976. The flag was designed by the county's government, and there
does not seem to have been really a specific designer besides the person who
first suggested the idea, who is not known. I'd assume it was County Manager
Carl Salas, but this is no more than a guess. It seems to have been approved by
the commissioners on October 8 as official.
