"Green represents the nature surrounding us. Yellow represents the richness of our soil (gold and platinum). Black represents our race (our ethny)."
"Gold and platinum" are also invoked in the municipal anthem, written by Leonor Diaz. However, the "Economy" section of the municipal website states that the main source of income in Cantón del San Pablo are agriculture and forestry (and, potentially, ecotourism), mining being developed "on a very reduced scale."
Mining seems to have been mostly performed by panning the ore-containing waters of River San Pablo (and is still performed this way, as shown on photographies available on the municipal website, either with a pan or a sluice box, as a family business rather than mining industry).
The "Culture" section of the municipal website states that the inhabitants of Cantón del San Pablo are mostly of (remote) African origin.
The municipal flag forms the border (except on the top) of the municipal coat of arms, which shows the local landscape, including the river and a washing pan (in Spanish, "batea").
