Colón

The provincial flag of Colón was adopted on 16 August 1996 by the Municipal Council of the District of Colón, presided by Longino Sánchez. The flag, selected among 28 proposals, was presented by Alcibíades González on 30 April 1996. The flag is described as follows: - upper stripe: light blue (celeste), representing the immense sea that bathes our coasts; - middle stripe: white, representing peace and the aspiration of the inhabitants of Colón to concord with the rest of the country; - lower stripe: golden yellow, representing the resources of the province. In the middle of the flag is placed the coat of arms of Colón, adopted by the Municipal Council by Decree No. 37 in 1927 and by the Provincial administration by Decree No. 1 in 1942.
