Description

I found photographs online showing the Palacio Municipal in Villa Jaragua. The photos show two flags flying in front of the building - the Dominican Republic national flag and a flag with a coat of arms on a light yellow field that I take to likely be the flag of the municipality. I don't know if the light yellow field is designed that way or due to fading from the weather. In the graphic, I kept the field light yellow until we know for sure one way or the other. The coat of arms features a beachscape scene with mountains in the background, likely meant to represent Lake Enriquillo. The chief of the shield shows an orange sun with 11 rays on a sky blue background, with a palm tree and a another plant flanking the sun. A blue banner above the shield carries the motto "Trabajo es Progreso" ("Work is Progress"), while a red banner below the shield bears the name of the municipality and the country.

Villa Jaragua is a city in Baoruco province in southwestern Dominican Republic near the border with Haiti, close to Lake Enriquillo. The town was originally named Barbacoa, but was renamed Villa Trujillo Vald�z by President Trujillo, naming the town after his father. In 1961, the town was changed to its current name, and it declared an official municipality of the province in 1974.
