This city of 28,335 inhabitants was founded on July 22, 1851.
As can be expected from the name of the city, the five triangles
are a geometrical representation of salt mounds (the design comes
from the Coat of Arms).

This is from pueblos-de-puertorico.com site (defunct) and it
differs significantly (in form) from the above based on lexjuris
site; The description on the Lexjuris site 'isosceles' and
'montículos' (small mountains (hills?) do fit the Lexjuris-flag;
the Coat of Arms at does have those 'montículos' too.

Salinas was founded in 1851. The name is dereived from its
great and abundant knolls of salt in its coasts. For the shield
the the traditional colors of the town were chosen; green and
silver. The salt knolls indicate in graphical form the name of
the town: Salinas. The fish refer to the fishing. The sugar cane
leaves that surround the shield, symbolize the sugar cane
plantations. The shield is a symbolic way of indicating the
occupations and industries, including salt extraction and
fishing, that have been main factors in the origin and
development of the population. The three tower crown is a symbol
granted to all the towns founded during the Spanish domination..
