About the flag
The official flag of Medelpad, a historical province in Sweden, is a
banner of arms, just like for all Swedish provinces. The white wavy fesses
are supposed to symbolise the two major rivers in the province, Ljungan
and the Indal River (Indalsälven), while the red part probably is added
just to give a livelier tincture combination.
