Regional Council Hof HaKarmel (meaning Carmel Sea-shore)
is situated on the Mediterranean coast just south of Haifa, on both sides of the main road
between the Carmel Mt. sloops and the sea shore. It was
established 2 July 1951 and unites 25 small settlements with
15,000 inh. The council in its session of 2 August 1951 adopted
the Regional Council emblem which was chosen by a jury after a
contest between residents of the Regional Council. The emblem
appears in greenish shade on official papers and in the Regional
Council website,
however since the unofficial flag that is used by the Regional
Council has a blue background it appears on it in white with the
Regional Council name below it. The desk flag has a white
background and a blue-silver emblem. Source: Letter, desk flag
and phone call from Mrs. M. Bobis, Regional Council secretary. I
have no official explanation but the emblem shows two ears of
wheat (for the agricultural nature of the area), the Carmel Mt.
and the sea and an old pillar, probably for Caesarea, an ancient
city in the Regional Council's border. Here are scans from the letter and the desk flag.
