The municipality of Pedro Gomes (8,307 inhabitants; 3,651 sq. km) is located
in the north of Mato Grosso de Sul, 285 km of Campo Grande. The municipality is
locally believed to have been named after a landlord called Pedro Gomes, but
there is no historical evidence of him.
The flag of Pedro Gomes is
horizontally divided blue-yellow-red-yellow-blue (4:1:3:1:4), with a yellow
triangle charged with the municipal coat of arms placed along the hoist. The
flag, designed in 1977, uses the colors traditionally assigned to the Gomes
family.
The flag is seen, used indoors, on photos taken on 28 May 2010
during the visit by Representative Biffi:
