The single star at the top of the flag represents the idea of the popular sovereignty. When put into words it means that the local government is governed by the will of the people of Sweetwater. The star shows as well that the people of Sweetwater are united as one and are undivided when confronting the issues that face the City. The curved line beneath the singular star represents the snake, which annually generates revenue and prosperity for the City of Sweetwater since the founding of the Rattlesnake Roundup in 1958.[1]
