According to NAVA-News IX:4, the yellow area and wavy bars symbolize the sunny rolling hills and streams of Middletown. As for the canton, it suggests a sign hanging before a tavern. Along with the key, they both suggest Middletown's heritage as a midway stop for travelers in the early days. The designer is Dick Crossett, who was a free-lance advertising designer in Louisville, KY and certainly a vexillologist. Sadly, no date of adoption is mentioned in the article, but it is almost for certain sometime in the very late years of the '60s or the early '70s. Would like to note, he did not use text on his design, so it is certain that a city government member made this addition.
