This city of 56,316 inhabitants was founded in 1722 and became
autonomous (as a municipality, I suppose) in 1793. The text does
not say much about the flag... In the CoA, the yellow (or rather
gold) represents the [rising] sun, Humacao being located in the
eastern part of the island. Green stands for the tropical nature
of the valley, but also the Native Indian heritage. Humacao is in
east Puerto Rico

Flag-description: 'pendiente' (pending?).
Jarig Bakker, 1 Febuary 2000
Concering "pendiente" - in Spanish it can be an
adjective (hanging, depending) or a noun (earring). I have never
seen it used in a flag context.

The flag of Humacao consists of three stripes with the middle
one narrower: colors are yellow/red/green.

Humacao - Its colors are based in the Coat of Arms: yellow,
red, and green. Yellow (gold) represents the color of the Indian
Chief Humacao's crown, and Jesus' monogram. Red is for the small
shield, and green represents the arrows color.
