History

The flag of Utrecht originates from the medieval period, during which the city's militia was divided into two factions each symbolised by a single white and a single red monochromatic, triangular pennant. The municipality's contemporary flag represents the merger of these two pennants and adheres to a proportion of 2:3.[2]

Historic flags prominently featured of Saint Martin, the municipality's patron saint, depicted on horseback cutting his red cloak to give to an individual in need.[3]
