Flag of Groningen

From the 17th century onwards, Groningen flags and banners often used the city coat of arms, possibly combined with the colours green and white. In its current form with three stripes, the flag is first found in 1879. Later, in 1897, Mayor Modderman announced ‘that the flag of this municipality consists of three bands of equal width, the middle one being coloured green and the other two white’.

The flag of the province of Groningen was partly derived from the city of Groningen flag in 1950.
