Overview
This city of 39,147 inhabitants was founded on May 21, 1819
(although its origins go back to 1725). The design, colours and
symbolism come from the CoA: the yellow symbolizes the Ta�no
Indians who lived in Isabela and are known for the characteristic
use of gold in decorations. The green symbolizes the most ancient
known inhabitants of Isabela, archaic Indians and inger�s
[mixed?], the latter probably being the first agriculturers in
the island, hence the green colour.
Thanh-T�m Le', 12 January 1999
The flag at pueblos-de-puertorico.com site (defunct) is a
horizontal triband yellow - green - yellow. According to lexjuris site
the flag can also be exhibited with the CoA in the middle.
Isabela is in northwest Puerto Rico.
