Description of the flag

The Village of Riverside in Illinois, US, flag consists of a central logo on a white flag. The full story is at www.rblandmark.com, from which the following description was taken:

The word "Riverside" stretches across the white flag, in a script that's a nod to the original Frederick Law Olmsted map of the village. Underneath is the village's Latin motto "Villae in Silvis" (Village in The Forest), along with the date 1875, when Riverside was officially incorporated as a municipality. The flag also notes that Riverside was designated a "National Historic Landmark,"
