Background

Lilongwe is the capital city of Malawi. Originally a fishing village, it was founded in 1906 and was officially recognised as a town in 1947.  Due to its location in the centre of the country, it replaced Blantyre as the capital of the country in 1975.

The municipal flag of Lilongwe has a white background, in the centre of which are the municipal coat of arms.  There is also a variant in which the inscription "Lilongwe City Council" appears under the arms.
