This is a list of municipal and barrio flags in Puerto Rico, United States.
Municipalities edit
There are 78 municipal flags in Puerto Rico, one for each municipality. The region and the people of each municipality are represented by the flags which, in most cases derive their symbolism from the region's Coat of Arms. Each of the municipalities of Puerto Rico, including the islands of Culebra and Vieques, have adopted a flag which represents the region and its people. The colors and designs may vary. Some flags contain a coat of arms or images of an object associated with the region, such as a bird, animal, or crop. In the case of Lares, in 1952, the town Municipal Assembly adopted the "Revolutionary Flag of Lares" (the first Puerto Rican flag) as their official flag.[1] The barrios of the municipality of Caguas also have their own flags.[2]
Many of the municipal flags of Puerto Rico pay tribute to the Cacíques of the Taíno tribes (the native Puerto Rican tribe) who ruled the archipelago before the arrival of the Spaniards and who were the rulers of the land where the town now stands. The flag of Utuado for example has a Taino Sun in honor of the Supreme Taino Cacique Agüeybaná whose name means "The Great Sun".[3] Other flags, such as San Germán's, contain a mural crown. The crown pays tribute to Spain and the Spanish who settled the area.[4]
