Flag

The flag of Rocafuerte, proposed in 1957 by Antonio Cedeño Arteaga, then Vice-President of the Canton Council, was unanimously approved by the Council.
The flag is composed of of two horizontal green and white stripes of equal size. Green is in the upper part, while white is in the lower
part. At 1/3 from the right is placed the vertex of a yellow triangle.

Green symbolizes the soil fertility, mostly used for agriculture. The stripe is charged with three golden stars representing the three rural
parishes of Tosagua, Bachillero and Estancilla.
White represents the moral values of the people. The white stripe is charged with a big yellow star representing the urban parish of
Rocafuerte, the canton's capital.
The yellow triangle represents the resources provided by agriculture.

The flag was published in 1959 in the review "Rocafuerte en Marcha", matching the original description. The design was subsequently amended, the triangle being moved to the hoist. The official date of adoption of the new design, if any, is not known.

Following the establishment of Tosagua canton, to which the two other rural parishes were allocated, the three stars that once symbolized these parishes were removed by Municipal Resolution.
