Overview

The flag derives its design, colors and symbolism from the municipal Coat of Arms. The only difference is that silver is painted white on the flag.
Blas Delgado Ortiz, 6 April 2001

Name perhaps came from:
1) Asadist Spanish conqueror (perversion very frequent in the conquerors) that massacred thousands of pacific natives until that a Quishwa girl (previousely raped) with the help of some survivors, murdered him. His name was Pedro de Aņasco and operate in Peru.
2) Other conqueror that operated in Florida in same era called Juan de Aņasco, originated from Sevilla.

But more probably is a name for "imbroglio" that is the meaning of the name Aņasco (Aramean orign I believe).
