Overview

The image is based on Gaceta de Banderas 15, "Simbolos Patrios" Gobernación de Caldas, Secretaríade Educación Departamental. Adopted: 20 May 1968.

I must stress that this source is a poor indicator of the actual proportions of the municipal flags. Some flags are just annexed to the Coat of Arms in a square proportion. Two of these flags were presented previously in a 2:1 proportion.  Many of these flags could be such.  I think it will be wise to place a note that indicates that the true proportions of these flags could be 2:1 also.

From <www.gobernaciondecaldas.gov.co>:
"La Bandera - Fue creada al igual que el escudo, mediante Acuerdo número 008 de mayo 20 de 1968. El artículo primero de la mencionada disposición dice: "Créase la bandera de Samaná en la siguiente forma: Dos colores de igual tamaño: amarillo (arriba) que significa riqueza, sabiduría y color de oro; Verde (abajo), símbolo de esperanza, color de las plantas y representativo de la riqueza forestal, así como de la agricultura, base económica del municipio"."
