This city of 21,450 inhabitants was founded in 1905. "
The flag is a symbol with relates us to this part of the
Puertorican soil, we display it to express that we are raised,
that w e are standing [...] The red stands for struggle,
endeavour and sacrifice. The green and white waves have the same
meaning as those on the CoA. The green symbolizes the renewal,
the spring, the dreamt-of transformation, such as we represent it
in the branches and leaves of our friend the tree.The waves
recall the winding little streams which sing the freshness of our
meadows, and also the waters of our Guajataca Azul, unique in its
beauty. They also recall the athletic vigour of the waves of our
sea, from which came the warlike and notorious name of the
Pirates."
