This city of 33,000 was founded in 1823. The blue colour on
the flag represents the sea bordering Hatillo, the yellow
represents the material and artistic wealth of the town, and the
green represents the vegetation of the fields throughout the
territory of the city. Hatillo is in northwest Puerto Rico

I'm from Hatillo, Puerto Rico. I must inform you that you have
the flag of my town upside down. I have a site about Hatillo at
<www.galeon.com/hatilloweb>
and before I published it I went to the "Oficina de
Turismo" and assurred myself of the correct position of the
flag and was told that the blue stripe is the first stripe. See
my page about Hatilo symbols at <www.galeon.com/hatilloweb/simbolos.html>.

Wrong flag based on <www.xsn.net> (defunct)

Wrong flag with inverted colors

Wrong flag according to the image at Lexjuris
site and pueblos-de-puertorico.com site (defunct)

Hatillo -- the text says that the stripes are equal but in the
image there is a thiner middle stripe. I made two images: No. 1
following the text (probably more reliable, if less telling) and
No. 2 more like the image.
Thanh-Tâm Le, 12 January 1999
The flag at pueblos-de-puertorico.com site (defunct) is
identical to the one at ,Lexjuris
site so the discription on the last page must be erroneous.
Jarig Bakker, 1 Febuary 2000
The text at Lexjuris
site says: "The flag consists of three equal
stripes" , which is obviously not so.
Antonio Martins, 1 Febuary 2000
The most common error in those sites is unknowingly presenting
the flag upside down, so inverting the colors in the vertical
direction -we may see this in Hatillo
