Chita is a municipality in the Colombian Department of
Boyacá, part of the the subregion of the Valderrama Province. It
was founded on 28 March 1727 by Padre José de Arce.
The flag of Chita is green
with a yellow forth quarter and yellow star on the canton.
Information in Spanish:
"Su forma es rectangular de tres metros de larga por dos de
ancha en proporciones de tres a dos; tres subrectángulos
homogéneos; los dos superiores y el inferior derecho; el cuarto
igual al subrectángulo pero de diferente color. Sus colores son
el verde y el amarillo. El primnero cubre tres subrectángulos
por ser esta una región típicamente agrícola y porque
simboliza la esperanza de que todo cambiará por via pacífica y
racional. El amarillo cubre el subrectángulo inferior izquierdo
y significa la riqueza de nuestro suelo poco explotado. La
estrella unitaria indica la acción conjunta y a todos por igual.
el numero de puntas representa al número de veredas del
municipio. Es de color amarillo oro ya que la acción mancomunada
es riqueza. Va sobre el subrectángulo derechosuperior y centrada
en él".

Translated from municipal
web site:
"The flag is of rectangular shape, measurung 3 m
in length on 2 m in height in proportions 2:3. It is made of
three homogenous subrectangles, the three upper and the lower
right; the fourth is similar but of different colour.
The colours are green and yellow. Green, colouring three
subrectangles, recalls this is a typical agricultural regions and
symbolizes the hope thet everything will change through a pacific
and rational way. Yellow in the lower left subrectangle
represents the less exploited resources of our soil.
The unitarian star represents the joint action fair to
all; the number of points represents the number of hamlets
("veredas") of the municipality. Its golden
yellow colour states the richness of the municipal action; it is
centered on the upper right subrectangle."
In the description, left and right are consistently swapped when
compared with the image. This is probably a "heraldic
use" of left and right.
