The Ansonia flag is designed around the City Seal which incorporates an image
of Anson Phelps, founder and philanthropist. The background, blue and white, are
the city’s colors.
The City of Ansonia was incorporated in 1893 under
the early guidance of Anson Greene Phelps (1781-1853). Recorded history notes
that the first English settler to the Ansonia area was in 1654. In 1675, this
land was originally a part of the township of Derby. In its early years, the
state chartered Ansonia as a borough of Derby, and later as a separate town in
1889. In 1893, Ansonia incorporated as a city. Ansonia is located in New Haven
County and is a mere 6.2 square miles with a population of 18,688. It is truly a
“small town with a big heart.”

In the image above, the edges of the flag in the original photo provided
cannot be seen, so the proportions are speculative. Unusually, the seal is
wholly in Latin.
