The region and the people of each municipality are represented by the flags which, in most cases derive their symbolism from the region's Coat of Arms. ==Background== (詳細はCulebra and Vieques, have adopted a flag which represents the region and its people. The colors and designs may vary. Some flags contain a coat of arms or images of an object associated with the region, such as a bird, animal, or crop. In the case of Lares, in 1952, the town Municipal Assembly adopted the "Revolutionary Flag of Lares" as their official flag.〔(Banderade Lares )〕 The barrios of the municipality of Caguas also have their own flags.〔(Barrios" Flags - Overview ), Flags of the World, Retrieved Feb. 25, 2009〕 Many of the municipal flags of Puerto Rico pay tribute to the Cacíques of the Taíno tribes (the native Puerto Rican tribe) who ruled the island before the arrival of the Spaniards and who were the rulers of the land where the town now stands.
