Canton of Fricktal

Shown on http://www.lsg-suedwest.de/aktuell.htm [not retrievable] is a white flag bearing a green linden leaf. This flag can be considered a regional flag used in the North of Switzerland – Canton of Aargau, to be precisely – but as a banner of arms it also evokes the short-lived Canton of Fricktal (1802–03) as part of the Helvetic Republic. Before that, it was the Austrian "Amt" or district Frick.

See following history map (top of page, where "24" represents this territory): http://www.zum.de/whkmla/region/italy/ch17981803.html

One of three stars in the Aargau arms, and consequently in the flag, represents Fricktal (Frick Valley). The Fricktal arms are now borne by Schupfart (AG) (since 1872).
Born out of revolutionary turmoil and liquidated to the advantage of Aargau, Fricktal lives on as a geographically distinct area and its name is used in lower-level administrative bodies of various kinds.

Jan Mertens, 5 May 2008

Fricktal emerged as a separate entity when Aargau was split up in the fifteenth century. In 1803 Fricktal was joined with the other two parts of Aargau territory to create the current canton of Aargau.
