Binnenmaas was originally founded on 1 January 1984 by the merger of
5 municipalities. According to the mayor they all had in common the presence
of the Binnenmaas (or Binnen-Maas or Binnenbedijkte Maas), an old riverbranch
in the Hoeksche Waard between Maasdam and Westmaas; at Puttershoek connected
to the Oude Maas. A dam was constructed in 1439. It was originally part
of the Maas river.

On the FOTW-ws is a flag of the former municipality of Puttershoek in
Zuid-Holland province VWV according to Sierksma's Nederlands Vlaggenboek.
However this was replaced 16 October 1980 by a design of the Hoge Raad
van Adel in collaboration with the Stichting Banistiek & Heraldiek
(= Sierksma):
"White with three black fleurs-de-lis, each of 1/3 flagheight; two
fleurs-de-lis have been placed on top of each other at hoist-center. The
third fleur-de-lis is in flagcenter.
The flag is nearly identical to the Arms; there is only difference in
placement. The green-white-green flag, and the ditto flag with arms from
1976, which were unofficial, are obsolete now".
