The new flag is at
pueblos-de-puertorico.com site (defunct): a white field with new
Coat of Arms. Trujillo Alto is is in northeast Puerto Rico; it
was founded in 1801 (?) and there are 61,120 Trujillanos; it is
known as the pueblo of "Los Arrecostaos".

The Coat ofArms as well as the flag were changed by the
present municipal administration by means of Ordinance 19,
1997-98 series, of May 29, 1998. The flag appears to be 8:9 in
size. So I draw it that way.

I located a flag from
pueblos-de-puertorico.com site (defunct) which is the old flag,
also to be found on lexjuris
site, based on the old Coat of Arms. This was designed in 1973;
the dots stand for the 13 provinces of the kings of Castilla y
Aragón. The flag was designed in 1982 by Pedro R. Díaz, and had
as motive the 'Olimpiadas Jíbaras', celebrated by the
municipios.

The elements that represent the shield are: Border in Azure
(Blue), with eight spurts of water in silver color in
representation of the eight wards of Trujillo Alto and means the
enormous water volume: The river, the streams and the
springs. Golden Mural Crown with five towers of the
same color in representation to that it is a metropolitan
city. It was adopted on the 29 of May of 1998. The
mountains represent that it is a mountainous municipality and the
Cross represents the Cross that is near Carraizo lake in
the ward of the same name.

In a silver field, three green mountains, a Latin cross of
blue centered above the mountains. Bordered in blue with eight
spurts of water, in silver. The shield is stamped with a gold
crown, heightened with five towers. Underneath the shield a
banner with the inscription: Trujillo Alto. The eight water
spurts represent the eight wards of the municipality and
symbolize the numerous water-bearing resources of Trujillo Alto
like the Grande de Loíza River, the numerous springs, the gorges
and the Carraízo Lake. The mountains represent the mountainous
topography of the town. The Latin cross is one that is found in
Carraízo, the Santa Cruz (Holy Cross).
