�ubica flag

The first written notices are from 1251. �ubica certainly belongs to the oldest community in the region of Spi�. In 1271 the Hungarian king Stephen V granted �ubica the town rights. With the privilege the village �ubica joined the member of royal towns. In the 17th century it was still among the the richest towns of Spi� and it possessed the right to hold 3 annual markets. The situation got worse when �ubica was given to Poland by the Hungarian ruler �igmund as a pawn in the year 1412. It was returned to the previous native country in the year 1878. Many big fires have characterised its history. The fire service has a rich and interesting history. Even now you can find a functioning fire engine that dates from the 19th century. The utilization of curative sulphuric springs is also connected with the history of �ubica. At one of these springs in 1714 the colony was founded called �ubick� K�pele. But this colony was sentenced to destruction when a military base was established in this region in 1952. Another cause of decline occured when �ubica was joined to the town of Ke�marok in the year 1974. In 1992 it was separated from Ke�marok and again became an independent community and it revived. Its current aim is to maintain a link with its history while developing into a small town. There are 3600 inhabitants.

At this site is a swallowtailed flag with the same pattern. I don't know how official this is, I'm just reporting it...
