The flag of Araçatuba is prescribed by Municipal Decree No. 219,
adopted in 1974. The Decree explicitly says that the flag should have
nine horizontal stripes, starting - and ending - with a white stripe.

A flag with eight instead of nine horizontal stripes was spotted in
June 2009 by Jorge Henrique Silveira, who reported the mistake to the
local press.
