http://www.belmar.com/history/flag.html:
The first flag was the one carried by the Belmar Battalion, N.J. Militia Reserve
and was made by Mrs. Wm. Ripley Cobb. The painting of the Coat of Arms on the
Flag was the work of Phillip Brunin. This flag was first shown to the public on
the evening of April 18th, 1918, when it was formally entrusted to the Battalion
by his Honor Mayor George W. Van Note. The colors of the Municipal Flag are
Jersey Blue and Colonial Buff. These are distinctly New Jersey colors and were
first selected by George Washington, because New Jersey as well as New York were
originally settled by the Dutch and Jersey Blue and Buff figured in the
Netherlands Insignia.
No image is provided, although the coat of arms can be seen at

Here may be seen a photograph of Mayor Gilmore with the flag flying next to
him, slightly clearer:
http://www.hamiltonnj.com/common/photos/Irish_flag_03092005.html. Note, that
on the flag, it is depicted in black and white line drawing, but the shield at
the bottom of the seal, which extends beyond the circular boundary, is in
colour.
Here may be seen a copy of the seal, on the Mayor's news release, citing his
support for a flag protection ordinance, which is interesting of itself:

Ms Kathrine Coletta, Township Clerk of Mahwah Township, New Jersey, has
informed me that the township is seriously considering the idea of a township
flag. The idea will be presented to the Council sometime in the Spring of 2009,
at which time a procedure will be devised for choosing a flag design. Informal
discussions among individual members of the council have indicated that
sentiment is leaning toward a design which would simply consist of the Township
Seal on a colored background, although the color has not yet been decided. The
chief argument in favor of this proposal is that it would be the cheapest
option. However, Ms Coletta stressed that no formal proposal that Mahwah
Township should have its own flag has yet been presented to the council.

United States 2000 Census, the city population was 149,222. Census population
projections indicate a population of 148,708 as of 2006, making it New Jersey's

19th century.
Paterson was originally formed as a township from portions
of Acquackanonk Township on April 11, 1831, while the area was still part of
Essex County. Paterson became part of the newly-created Passaic County on
February 7, 1837. Paterson was incorporated as a city on April 14, 1851, based
on the results of a referendum held that day. The city was reincorporated on
March 14, 1861." - from Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paterson,_New_Jersey.
The flag is
described on a project website:
http://www.patersonhistory.com/municipality/index.html. "The Flag of the
City of Paterson consists of a white field with the coat of arms in old gold in
the center with streamers of Jersey blue on which is inscribed "Founded in
1792," "Charter 1851," and "City of Paterson"."
And coat of arms, too:
"The Coat of Arms represents a man planting a mulberry bush, the only branch of
the silk industry non-existent in this city. The motto, "Spe et Labore," meaning
"With Hope and Labor", is inscribed above the emblem."

From
http://www.stoneharbornews.com/A%20_Archival%20Museum.htm:
"The original colors of the Borough were gold and green. In fact, the first
Borough flag had a gold colored imprint on a green field. I remember seeing it
at my early attendance at Borough Council Meetings. Some thought that flag was
in the Borough Hall attic, having been placed there after Mrs. Catherine
Letschie designed the new multi-colored Borough logo which was placed on a flag
with a field of blue. We’re still searching, but it doesn’t look like we will
find the original green and gold flag . . ."

Toms River Township (95,148 inhabitants in 2007; 137.1 sq. km) is the county
seat of Ocean County. Founded on 1 March 1768, the township was incorporated on
21 February 1798 as Dover Township, an name which was changed on 14 November
2006.
"Ashbury Park Press", 29 May 2009, reports, with a colour photo, the
presentation of the flag of Toms River as follows:
"[...] Township Clerk and
Historian Mark Mutter has spearheaded a unique township flag campaign, designing
a township-colored flag that flies on Toms River's Town Hall flagpole everyday
below the American and Prisoners of War Flags. Day-by-day each flag is taken
down and placed in a bag with a certificate of authenticity legitimizing the
date it was flown and is signed by Mayor Thomas F. Kelaher and all members of
the Township Council.
“The 3x5' maroon and white township sealed flags
display the Toms River Indian head with the and township motto ‘Homo Cogitat,
Deus Indicat,' which translates ‘Man Thinks, God Directs,' are one-of-kind,”
said Mayor Kelaher.[...]"
