The canton of Saquisilí was formed on 18 October 1943.
Translated from <www.municipiosaquisili.gov.ec>:
"The flag of the canton is in rectangular shape, with
proportions 1:2, divided into two equal horizontal stripes. The
upper stripe is yellow while the lower stripe is green. The two
stripes are of equal size. Yellow represents the great wealth
present in the place, which is the product of the inhabitants'
strength and vitality. The wealth is not only made of money but
also of the spiritual, moral, cultural and economical resources
of the inhabitants [...]
Green represents the agronomic resources provided by the
beautiful fields surrounding the town. They are formed of
grasslands supplying the famers and all the citizens with bread
and wealth. Green means the hope of the inhabitants to transform
their homeland into the green blazon of our Ecuadorian
nationality.
Finally, our flag represents virility and cleverness of the
inhabitants. Yellow and green, joined with harmony, wealth and
hope, force and power, joy and progress.
Heraldic symbols winners of the competition, 28 September
1958."
