Flag of Hetfordshire

Adopted	November 2008 (by county council)

The flag of Hertfordshire is the flag of the English county of Hertfordshire. The flag is a banner of the arms of Hertfordshire County Council. On 19th November 2008 the Council passed a resolution that the design is a fitting and proper emblem for the county and its people ^{[1] [2]}. The council subsequently registered the banner of arms as the flag of the county with the Flag Institute and it now appears on the latter's registry of local flags ^[3].

The blue and white wavy lines, a traditional heraldic representation of a water course, symbolise the county's many rivers while the shield and hart are taken from the arms of the Borough of Hertford^[4].
