This city of 41,424 inhabitants was founded on August 2, 1797.
The blue waves represent the Río [Ri'o] Valenciano. The bulrush
with red flowers refers to the name of the town (bulrush plants
are called "juncos" in Spanish).

The explanation of the flag is at lexjuris site
, from which I conclude that it is a canting flag. Juncos seem to
be birds ("Junco" = "reed" , Santiago
Dotor) , but the drawing on the flag looks like a plant. The
blue wavy line represent the Ri'o Valenciano. The plant in the
top of the flag is called espigas de juncos colocadas. Juncos is
in east Puerto Rico.

From lexjuris
site: FLAG - On a golden field appear the blue wavy stripes,
representing River Valenciano, on the lower triangle. Centralised
[centered???] on field and ondulation we see the spikes of reed
plced in a similar fashion as they are on the Coat of Arms.
