No flag

It appears Emiliano Zapata does not use a municipal flag.

Nothing is known about the symbol's history, according to the municipal government. Description of the symbol, according to Chapter II of the Municipal Edict on Police and Government:

Article 5.- The coat of arms corresponds to the municipal seat, the port of Frontera, consisting of a green field, an equilateral triangle in the center which divides and forms the spaces; having to the upper left side a bovine which represents cattle-raising; of the right side, outside the triangle an Indian in a cornfield standing in the action of harvesting, which corresponds to the etymology of Centla.

In the lower left part a shrimp, a fish, and a fishing boat. To the right side, a sketch of the mouth of the river to the sea and the lateral canal; within the triangle, the Saint Mary of Guadalupe church, the Frontera bridge, which crosses the river Grijalva; navigating over this, a merchant boat and a marine platform of petroleum drilling; going to the back, but showing at the extremes a lance and an axe, representing the Spanish forms; in the upper center and outside of the field of the coat of arms, a helm of a Spanish soldier and in the part under the coat of arms two clubs, signifying the native weaponry; a yellow [in actuality red] ribbon passes through the back, and in the extreme left the year 1815, which corresponds to the foundation of San Fernando de la Victoria, today Frontera; and in the extreme right 1996, year of the coat of arms [creation], to the edges the legend, "Puerto de Frontera, Tabasco, México"
