Brown County in Indiana has a community flag. The web page at
www.browncountyindiana.com reports:
"Community leaders create Brown County flag
By Rodney Margison
With the theme of “Peaceful Valley” prominently displayed amid a montage of
local icons, designers of a Brown County community flag recently unveiled
their final product. The first public presentation of the flag was made
November 26, 2005.
Prominent parts of the flag and its design include the blue background and an
eagle, both symbolic of Brown County High School and its “important part of
this community’s activities and spirit,” Mr. Lloyd said. “Pat Lloyd
recommended the features of an artist palette and a rustic cabin to recognize
the artist colony tradition and the people’s pioneer spirit.” Other
contributions were the vista with fall foliage, wood smoke emitting from the
cabin’s chimney, the blue haze and the whitetail deer in the pasture. “The
people of Brown County are known for their pioneer spirit, self-reliance,
artistic and musical talent and their hospitality,” the release stated. “These
attributes, and the natural beauty of this land, provide people with an
enjoyment and a contentment that comes from embracing these special qualities
of life.”"

The article calls this a "community flag" and a "citizen's flag", and there
is no mention of County officials being involved in the process, or of the flags
use as an official flag by the County government. So we probably ought to regard
this as unofficial until we get more info.
