Description of the flag

The City of Athens has reported that it does not have a flag.
Valentin Poposki, 2 January 2011

The town flag can be seen at a memorial for former state senator Donald T. Caruth, who died in 2010. Its possible that the flag was created in honor of his passing.

There is also a West Virginia University document about a comprehensive plan about Athens which shows a depiction of the flag: https://landuse.law.wvu.edu

The flag is a light blue field with a white border, separated a thin black border. In the center is the town seal, white a slight radial gradient of white eradiating off of it. The seal is slightly modified with the town and state name taking up one side of the ring instead of two. The founding year is also moved from the water and onto the seal's ring.

Seal

[Seal of Athens, West Virginia] image by David Sigley, 20 February 2024

The seal shows a gold ring with the town and state name inscribed on it. The disk depicts a simplistic scene of a sun rising over mountains with a body of water at the bottom, possibly referring to a reservoir on the Laurel Creek located south of the town. Inside the water is the founding year.
