About the Flag

The municipality of João Ramalho (4,138 inhabitants in 2010; 41,604 ha) is located in western São Paulo State, 500 km of São Paulo.

João Ramalho is named for the Portuguese pioneer João Ramalho (1493-1580), who founded in 1553 Santo André da Borda do Campo, today São Bernardo do Campo.

The symbols of João Ramalho are prescribed in Article 1 of the Municipal Constitution, adopted on 18 March 1990 and revised on 10 September 2009, as "the flag, the coat of arms and the anthem".

The site at http://camarapprudente.sp.gov.br/historia/hist_oeste/cidades/jramalho/simbolos.html at least seems to tell us the flag is charged with the arms.

"A Bandeira municipal:
Fica instituído para o uso da Prefeitura e Câmara de João Ramalho, a bandeira que representa o município dotado de brasão, cujas definições estão acima."
The flag shows the arms on a dark blue field.
