New Indiana license plate touts state's historical roots

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Indiana's new license plate celebrates 200 years of Hoosier history.

The new standard license plate has a blue image of the state's shape with the number 200 written across it and encircled by 19 stars symbolizing Indiana as the 19th state.

The design was unveiled this morning at the Indiana Historical Society Headquarters.

The plate will replace the current standard tag introduced in 2008.

It features the state flag's torch and stars on a blue background.

Indiana was granted statehood in 1816.
