a suburb of Cleveland in the Northeast Ohio Region, the 14th largest Combined
Statistical Area nationwide. The village was established and has grown around
a natural waterfall on the Chagrin River. As of the 2000 Census, the village
population was 4,024. The village was incorporated in 1844 from parts of three
townships in two counties. Neighboring Chagrin Falls Township was established
in 1845."

Here is an article about the village flag in GWAV site:
http://gwav.tripod.com/issue_22.htm
"The flag of Chagrin Falls not only departs from tradition in design, but also
in its shape. The flag is displayed vertically rather than horizontally,
suspended from what would be the hoist in the traditional format. Its design
is also radically different, and difficult to describe. The field of the flag
is white. A colorful scene of the village center shows a building (blue with
lavender windows with green foliage below it), and a red and yellow bridge and
walkway that cross the Chagrin River and the eponymous falls (blue waves on
white). At the top, near the hoist position, and centered, is CHAGRIN FALLS
OHIO in blue. The design is remarkable because it uses all 3 primary and
secondary colors, and 2 shades of green and orange, as well as 3 different
shades of blue. The whole appears to be a poster on cloth; as a poster it
would be quite attractive, but as a flag it is unusual, to say the least. The
flag was designed by Pam Premulli, a graphics designer in the village, and
adopted by the village council November 28, 2005."
