The flag of the Municipality of Marechal Cândido Rondon in the State of Paraná, Brazil, is shown at http://www.mcr.pr.gov.br. It is a green flag with a central red on white stripe, and a white triangle extending from the hoist bearing the municipal arms.
The municipality of Marechal Cândido Rondon (46,799 inhabitants in 2010;
74,800 ha) is located on the border with Paraguay, 580 km of Curitiba.
Marechal Cândido Rondon was formed in the mid 1950s by German colonists enrolled
by the Industrial Madeireira Rio Paraná S/A – Marip company. Small estates were
allocated to colonists coming from the neighboring states of Rio Grande do Sul
and Santa Catarina.
The district of General Rondon was established within the
municipality of Toledo in 1953 and renamed Marechal Cândido Rondon when
established a municipality on 25 July 1960. The name of the municipality was
"upgraded" after the National Congress had awarded the title of Marshal to
General Rondon in 1955.
Marshal Rondon (1865-1958) is most famous for his
exploration of Mato Grosso and the Western Amazon Basin, and his lifelong
support of Brazilian indigenous populations; he developed telegraph lines all
over the country and is honored as the "Father of the Brazilian
Telecommunications". One of the most revered Brazilian heroes and patriots,
Rondon is the namesake of the State of Rondônia and of the municipalities of
Rondon (Pará), Marechal Cândido Rondon (Paraná), Marechal Rondon (Mato Grosso)
and Rondonópolis (Mato Grosso), not to mention thousands of streets, schools,
..., and, last but not least, one of the most recently discovered monkey,
Rondon's marmoset (Mico rondoni), found in 2010 in Rondônia.

The
flag of the municipality of Marechal Cândido Rondon is horizontally divided,
with green lateral stripes of 5 units in width and a central stripe of 4 units
in width charged with a white stripe of 1 unit, starting from a white isosceles
triangle placed along the hoist and charged with the municipal coat of arms.
The coat of arms represent the municipal government. The white triangle
represents the town proper while the white color symbolizes peace, friendship,
work, prosperity, purity and religious spirit, representing the spread of
municipal power that expands to all parts of the territory. The red color is a
symbol of dedication, patriotic love, audacity, intrepidity, courage and
valiance. The green lateral stripes are symbols of honor, civility, courtesy,
joy and abundance, reminding the green fields of spring promising a profuse
harvest.
