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.
