Description of the flag

Orange is one of the oldest counties in Virginia, and was originally named for William of Orange, who was king of Great Britain at the time of the county's founding. I've seen the flag of Orange County flying in at least two locations: near Montpelier, the home of James Madison; and in front of the Orange County courthouse. The flag features the county seal on an off-white background.

A different flag seems to be in use behind councillors at http://www.townoforangeva.org/government/govt.htm#Town%20Government. It appears to be similar to the flag of Greene County, but with an orange seal, rather than green.
