Pitomaca is a large rural community in Virovitica-Podravina
County, with over 11 000 inhabitants, 6 000 of which live in the
main village of the same name. It is situated at the northwester
border of Slavonia, in Podravina region.
The village was formed in 1685 after the liberation of the region
from Turks. It was for the tricenteary celebrations in 1985 when
the coat of arms of pitomaca was adopted, and it is still used in
the same form. The flag was adopted in 1990's, probably around
1995.
The coat of arms is vert a fess argent and issuant from base a
mount gules. The flag is blue with the yellow bordered coat of
arms in the middle. The actual flags also have the yellow
fimbriations between the coat of arms elements.

The web site of the community incude the community Statutes of
2006 (cleared text with subsequent amendments, although I doubt
that any of amendments even since 1995 changed anything about the
coat of arms and flag), that in its article 5 has description of
the coat of arms and the flag (just as we have it above), but
also the reference to the approval of the Ministry of
Administration, providing us with framework date of adoption of
the decision on the coat of arms and flag: Rješenje
Ministarstva uprave Klasa UP/0-017-02/95-010/24, urbroj
505-04-03/1-95-1 od 13. srpnja 1995.
