Description of the flag

Monaca is a borough in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, United States along the Ohio River, 25 miles (40 km) west of Pittsburgh. Monaca was first incorporated as Phillipsburg. In 1892 the name of the borough was changed to Monaca in honor of a native American Indian Monacatootha." - from Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monaca,_Pennsylvania.

The borough flag story:
"In 1976 the Borough's official flag was adopted by Council. The Flag design was created by Tammi Temple when she was in the seventh grade at the Monaca Jr. High School which is now C. J. Mangin Elementry." - from the borough website: monacapa.net/index.asp?Type=B_BASIC&SEC=%7B5539306F-DA5E-490E-A792-6254B4A0B32F%7D, which also shows a photo of the flag.

The flag was adopted by the council on March 8, 1976. The flag depicts red, white, and blue stripes. Centered is Chief Monacatootha, the borough's namesake. Surrounding him is 13 stars. "MONACA", "PENNSYLVANIA", "1840", and "MONACATOOTHA" are also words on the flag. Obviously, the colors are a reference to the national colors and the 13 stars for the Thirteen Colonies.

The design was adopted as part of a contest sponsored by the borough's Bicentennial Committee. 125 entries were received in this contest.
