Valparaiso region has a different flag and arms.

It is from Norie/Hobbs, 1848 [noh48a].
Only information is the caption «Valparaiso».

Red and white horizontal bi-colour (reverse to current
Chilean national flag) with a white 5 pointed star in
square canton; proportion 2:3.

I believe that is a mistake. [It is the]
Chilean flag seen in Valparaiso, or perhaps
a variation (very frequent) of the
chilean flag.

Possibly this flag was really in use, as there was some trouble in
Valparaiso to get the Chilean flags from Santiago, so the authorities
in Valparaiso made them themselves. Maybe Norie-Hobbs
[noh48a] used the differentiation
as they knew that the Chilean flag hoisted in Valparaiso did not look
like those flags hoisted in Santiago.

The 1868 Dutch flag book shows a white five-pointed star in
blue canton red over white.

The source is right, the flag but has a canton of black!
Although in the scan it seems to be darkest blue, the authors had a
grid of horizontal and vertical lines
in the canton!
