This city of 89,454 inhabitants was founded in 1745. The flag
of Toa Baja was designed in 1980. The text says that the keys are
of gold and silver, although the image on the site would rather
be light purple. The green half represents the plains of the Toa,
and the golden half stands for the sun shining over the plains.
The keys symbolize San Pedro Apóstol [Apo'stol], Patron Saint of
the town of Toa Baja. They can be seen in a similar layout (and
in relief) on the main altar of the Parish Church of Toa Baja,
San Pedro Apóstol.
