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.
