Binnenmaas new flag

Binnenmaas is a municipality in Zuid-Holland province. On 1 January 2007 it merged with 's-Gravendeel, retaining its name. In the course of this year Binnenmaas asopted a flag consisting of the municipal logo on a white field. This can be read (according to Stefan Lambrechts) on the municipal pages, on page 9 of the "huisstijlboek" (house-style-catalogue OSLT), which I haven't spotted so far (URL: see flag!).

Binnenmaas was originally founded on 1 January 1984 by the merger of 5 municipalities. According to the mayor they all had in common the presence of the Binnenmaas (or Binnen-Maas or Binnenbedijkte Maas), an old riverbranch in the Hoeksche Waard between Maasdam and Westmaas; at Puttershoek connected to the Oude Maas. A dam was constructed in 1439. It was originally part of the Maas river.
