Overview

Two web pages reports the flag and its history:
According to <www.cocota.com>, the original flag was Green-Yellow-Red, which strangely enough were not those of the current flag (white-green), which was originally the flag of the Club Ocaña.
According to <www.cocota.com/nuestro/simbolos.htm>: Ratio 1:2, quartered White-Green. Perhaps this is the same (current city's and formerly Club's) flag, only the first description only mentions 'colours' and does not describe the flag.

From <ocana-nortedesantander.gov.co>:
"Ideada y popularizada por Juan Manuel Duque Carvajalino: "Largo dos veces lo ancho, dividido en cuatro rectángulos iguales. con los colores blanco y verde contrapuestos. El primero superior verde, el segundo superior blanco, el primero inferior blanco y el segundo inferior verde."
