"The official flag of the Town of Greece was adopted at a meeting of the Town
Council on August 17, 1954. Centered in a field of white is a circular emblem,
designed by J. S. Perticone depicting the old lighthouse at the mouth of the
Genesee River which was built in 1822 - the same year the Town was established.
The circle represents the shield of the warriors of the Ancient Greece and the
border is of characteristic Greek design. Lightning flashes symbolize energy and
strength and the colors - terra cotta, golden yellow and black - are those used
in old Greek pottery and artistic decorations."
