"Por Acuerdo N� 001, del 19 de Noviembre de 1982, el
Concejo de Envigado, adopt� la bandera Municipal, acogi�ndose a
las normas establecidas en nuestra constituci�n.
De acuerdo al articulado del mandato edilicio, se tom� el color
verde como s�mbolo de la Antioque�:idad que siempre ha
caracterizado a las gentes de Envigado, unido al color naranja
emblema de la pujanza, dinamismo y proyecci�n hacia el
desarrollo y el progreso constante de permanente vigencia en la
ciudad."

The flag was officially adopted by Decree #001 on 19 November
1982. Green represents Antioquian character
("Antioquie�idad") Orange represents power, dynamism
and progress.
Envigado was granted municipal status in 1814. It has the highest
standard of living among the Colombian municipalities.
