The new flag is at
pueblos-de-puertorico.com site (defunct): a white field with new
Coat of Arms. Trujillo Alto is is in northeast Puerto Rico; it
was founded in 1801 (?) and there are 61,120 Trujillanos; it is
known as the pueblo of "Los Arrecostaos".

The Coat ofArms as well as the flag were changed by the
present municipal administration by means of Ordinance 19,
1997-98 series, of May 29, 1998. The flag appears to be 8:9 in
size. So I draw it that way.

I located a flag from
pueblos-de-puertorico.com site (defunct) which is the old flag,
also to be found on lexjuris
site, based on the old Coat of Arms. This was designed in 1973;
the dots stand for the 13 provinces of the kings of Castilla y
Aragón. The flag was designed in 1982 by Pedro R. Díaz, and had
as motive the 'Olimpiadas Jíbaras', celebrated by the
municipios.

The elements that represent the shield are: Border in Azure
(Blue), with eight spurts of water in silver color in
representation of the eight wards of Trujillo Alto and means the
enormous water volume: The river, the streams and the
springs. Golden Mural Crown with five towers of the
same color in representation to that it is a metropolitan
city. It was adopted on the 29 of May of 1998. The
mountains represent that it is a mountainous municipality and the
Cross represents the Cross that is near Carraizo lake in
the ward of the same name.
