Utrecht

The flag of Utrecht Province is a combination of two other flags: the white-red bi-color of the Archdiocese of Utrecht and a white cross in a red field of the Sticht Utrecht.
== History ==
In the first fifteen years after the Second World War, the Dutch provinces adopted their own flags. Earlier, in 1938, a flag was used to symbolize the province; that was in honor of the 40th anniversary of Queen Wilhelmina's reign. This flag was a horizontal red-white-yellow tricolor and had no official status. Flags specially designed for the occasion were used for the parade in Amsterdam.
In 1951, the province was advised by the Supreme Council of Nobility to adopt its own flag. The current flag was subsequently adopted on January 15, 1952. The Utrecht provincial flag has little or no popularity.
