Introduction of Póvoa

Like all toponyms in the municipality, this commune has two names: Póvoa in Portuguese and Pruoba in Mirandese (the local syncretic Asturian-Leonese dialect complex, co-official language of Portugal and given a standard orthography); each is the translation of the other and both have the meaning of "settlement".The names in brackets are Mirandese, the local language.

About the Flag

It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a plain green field.
I called the commune's government President on the phone.
