Here is the flag of Lazajsk County in the voivodship of Podkarpackie.
Info from this site:
The district of Le�ajsk is situated in the south eastern part of podkarpackie
province. Le�ajsk is one of the oldest towns in south eastern Poland. The
beginning of the town was connected with a protoslavonic settlement. Next
to this settlement another one was founded on the river San in the area
of modern village called Stare Miasto. In 1397 the royal village Le�ajsk
was granted municipal rights by king W�adys�aw Jagie��o. The tradition
of the district of Le�ajsk dates back to the XV-th century. Le�ajsk became
the seat of the starosty in years 1425-1772. It was an independent starosty
which is nowadays comprised of the settlements of Le�ajsk, D�bno, Giedlarowa,
Sarzyna, Wierzawice, Jelna, Kury��wka, O�anna, Rzuch�w, Siedlanka, Wyw�oka,
Luch�w and Ploin. In years 1855-1867 Le�ajsk became, for the second time
the seat of a district starosty comprising 33 townships inhabited by 31890
people. It became the seat of a district in 1956-1975. The district comprised
two towns (Le�ajsk, Nowa Sarzyna) and 48 villages inhabited by 62000 people.
On 1st January 2000, thanks to administrative reforms Le�ajsk became a
district again. At present the district contains the city of Le�ajsk, the
commune of Le�ajsk, the town and commune of Nowa Sarzyna, the commune of
Kury��wka and the commune of Grodzisko Dolne each of which having its own
very interesting history
