Utuado - In 5 January 1987, Utuado's City Council adopted its
flag. The upper green band represents the green mountains; the
brown band at the center symbolizes the rich land of Utuado, and
the light blue lower band is symbol of the rivers and lakes of
this land. The Otoao Sun at the center is copy of one of the most
important of our indigenous culture, our Tai'no culture. The
artisan Luis E. Lafontaine designed the flag.
