It was introduced in 1815, when the Valais was detached from the French Department of Simplon to join the Swiss Confederacy. The coat of arms and the flag directly continue that of the République des Sept-Dizains, the early modern union of seven dizains which declared independence from the prince-bishops of Sion. The red and white colours were used by the bishops of Sion, in the form of a vertically divided red-and-white war flag, from c. 1220 (they are also retained in the municipal coat of arms of Sion). The addition of stars dates to the early 16th century, but the stars did not at first represent individual communes, and varied in number (between six and sixteen). The earliest maps of the Valais, printed in 1545 and in 1548, show coats of arms with ten six-pointed stars.

Bodmer was well known in Germany for his watercolours, drawings, and aquatints of cities and landscapes of the Rhine, Mosel, and Lahn rivers. After he moved to France following his return from an expedition in the American West, he became a member of the Barbizon School, a French landscape painting group from the mid-19th century. He created many oil paintings with animal and landscape motifs, wood engravings, drawings, and book illustrations. For his work, Bodmer was made a Knight in the French Legion of Honour in 1877.
