Description of the flag

River Forest Township is coterminous with River Forest Village.

River Forest Township made minor changes in a bottom text on the flag. I couldn't find when the change occur.

Anniversary flag

image by António Martins-Tuválkin, 17 November 2005

Blue flag with white stylized tree centered on it (approx. height half of the flag's), between "1850" (hoist) and "2000" (fly); below the tree and dates "Government 150 Years Strong" and arched above them "River Forest Township", all set in white sans-serif letters. Considering the sentence saying «Government 150 Years Strong» and the date on this flag, I'd say this is a commemorative banner, not really the local flag.
