This city of 38,799 inhabitants was founded in 1752. The red
symbolizes our Patron Saint San Sebastián Mártir [Sebastia'n
Ma'rtir], and the heroic deeds of September 24, 1868, when our
town was the place where blood was shed during the events
originating in the Revolutionary Movement of Lares. The green
represents the mountains of the Pepino, and the white wavy stripe
stands for the Río Culebrinas.
