Flag of Río Negro Province

The flag of the Río Negro Province is the official symbol of the Río Negro Province in Argentina. It consists of blue, white and green horizontal stripes, and a black canton containing thirteen stars symbolizing the departments of the province. The upper blue stripe represents justice and the abundance of water resources, and the black canton refers to the Río Negro, from which the province's name comes, meaning "Black River". The white stripe symbolizes the unity of the province, which in the second half of the 20th century experienced a conflict between the communities in the upper and lower reaches of the Río Negro. The green stripe represents hope and the fertility of the land.
