The Canelones Department (Spanish: Departamento de Canelones), with an area of 4,536 kmē (1,752 square miles) and 485,240 inhabitants, is located to the south of Uruguay. Its capital is Canelones.

The department was one of the nine original departments, created in 1830, and suffering little modifications in its extension over the years.

You can see the flag at the municipal website. The flag bears name "Comuna Canaria", which, as I understood is a nickname of the Department.
