This flag was adopted in March 5th 1987, by means of the decree 879, published in March 13th 1987.

The current Entre R�os provincial flag is locally known as Ram�rez� flag. In the day of Ram�rez and Artigas it was known as the Federation Flag, as it stood for a movement, not for a person.

by Jaume Oll�, 22 Aug 2000

Entre R�os had no official flag until 1833.12.28, when Governor General Pascual Echague adopted a new provincial flag. This should show the arms approved in 1822, but this was rarely done, usually variants of the arms were used. This flag lasted till 1853, when the Confederation was created. Though it is said that L�pez Jordan still used it in his 1870 revolution.
