you may read about the Project of "Flag and CoA
Regulations". The flag-image is differs from the description
in the Project which says: "The flag of Khmelnitsky town is
a rectangular banner, which consists of two horizonthal stripes.
Ratio - 2:2,8. Upper stripe is blue, bottom stripe is yellow.
There are municipal CoA on a hoist part of the blue stripe.
Height of the CoA equal to 2/3 of blue stripe height. ... "
The flag was adopted on October, 29,1997. Desigher of the flag -
V. Ilyinsky, teacher of history and theory of culture. I think
that the "Project of Regulations" was not adopted...

On the 27th of September 1990 town council session of
Khmel'nyts'kyi confirmed a modern CoA - in an azure field you see
three or arrows in cross. The central arrow laid with its point
down, the two others - with their points up.

The CoA were adopted on September, 27, 1990. Similar CoA were
granted to Proskurov (former name of Khmelnitsky) by russian
empress Ekatherina II in 1796. Three crossed arrows were on the
CoA of family of Zamojsky, they operated in Proskurov very long
time (since 1550 to XVIII c.).

Heraldry:
Capital of Khmelnytskyi Oblast. It is situated on the banks of
the Pivdennyi Bug and the Ploska. The first written mentions
refer to the XV century. The origin of the first name of the town
Ploskyriv comes from the word "rov" meaning a ravine
and the name of the river Ploska. Since the XVIII century the
town was called Proskuriv. It was renamed in 1954.
