Information translated from a 9 de Julio website (dead link).

In a single field of intense blue, it represents the immensity of our sky.
The Sun is represented, like a creative fact.
The arched saber, represents Colonel Julio de Vedia, in its participation in the foundation.
The 24 stars, represent the brotherhood between the 24 towns of the district, surrounding the year of their birth.
The three lagoons, represent the origin of the primitive Cla Lauquen.
The wheat ear, represents our main agricultural wealth, and the wheel to our industry.
Finally, the laurel — symbol of Glory — recognizes those that laid the foundations of the mighty and laborious Party of 9 de Julio of today.
