Presentation of Santana

The freguesia [commune] of Santana was created in 1552 and upgraded to vila [town] and seat of concelho [municipality] in 1835.

That information is very interresting, because Santana had her status upgraded to city only last month, and you say that they already have a gyronny flag? — boy, are they fast!
