Flag

The council informed me their municipal flag was adopted in the 2021-2024 term under Municipal President Rene Mejía Montoya. It is white with the municipal coat of arms centered upon it.

Coat of Arms

image from Facebook

The council informed me their coat of arms was adopted on 21 September 1993 as official, being designed by Javier Méndez Ugalde, Bueno Xavier, Martha Beatriz Izaguirre Fernández, and Delfino Leal Vega under the pseudonym "Ameyali" in a contest held by the Municipal Council. Previously, on 15 June 1992, the process was started through Act No. 72 which called for the creation of one. The Municipal Encyclopedia says the call for submissions was launched on 23 June 1993 and was unveiled on 16 September at the time of patriotic festivities. Description according to the Encyclopedia of Municipalities and Delegations:The "ideographic symbol" is a glyph, and represents its name of "Place of springs" (water emerges from a spring in the glyph).

[Over a rectangle:] In the crown [at the top] we find an abstraction of the sun, source of energy whose vitality bathes and strengthens the Municipality. The arch represents the architecture of the Municipal Seat, our ethnic race represented by its artisanry [in the center, a shape is the same as the main border but has a floral pattern in a rectangle cutting across its center]; agriculture which is the preponderant activity in the Amealcenses [upper-right, by a corn plant]; the ideographic symbol comes integrated, reiterating the origins of Amealco [above this is a map of the Municipality's boundaries; in the upper-left are two jugs also for artisanry]; the silhouette of the pine trees represent the forestal wealth [at the bottom, under the floral pattern] and finally, the year 1538 indicates to us the year of its foundation [at the very bottom, in a small rectangle].
