Flag: a rectangular flag, consisting of a blue field with in the center
a yellow rampant lion; adopted 29 januari 1959 by municipal resolution.
The flag is derived from the municipal arms. 's-Gravenzande was the
residence of the Counts of Holland before 's-Gravenhage was founded, and
it is assumed that the lion is connected with the arms of Holland.
