The municipality of María Grande (7,101 inhabitants in 2001) is
located in the center-west of the Entre Ríos Province, 90 km from
Paraná.
The flag of María Grande is horizontally divided blue-white-green.
Near the hoist is placed a white disk with six white rays. Inside the
disk are placed a black bird with a white wheat spike in the mouth and
a red star, the whole inscribed in a black cog wheel.
The flag was selected in a public contest, devised by the Municipal
Councillor Eliana Sacks and officially launched on 20 June 2013. The
contest, open from 25 July to 30 August, yielded 23 submissions. The
jury met on 2 September and the winning design was unveiled on 24
October.
The flag was designed by Manuel Martínez Campagna. The historian
Gonzalo Abella explains that its colours and design are linked with
the flag known as the Federal Banner of Andresito Artigas, a variant
of the Federal Banner used today as the Entre Ríos flag. Abella added
that green and blue were not considered as colours by the Guarani but
as parts of life, green representing the "lower" environment and blue
the "upper" environment.

The municipality of Viale (8,939 inhabitants in 2001) is located 50 km
of Paraná, the capital of the Entre Ríos Province.
Viale developed around the Vial railway station, named after the
landlord Victorino Viale by Provincial Decree of 7 July 1906. The
place was originally settled by Italian and Volga German colonists.
The public contest "Una bandera para mi ciudad" (A flag for my town)
was prescribed on 16 May 2012 by Municipal Decree No. 529.
Proposals can be submitted between 17 May and 18 June 2012. The
winning design will be proclaimed on 23 June and the new flag will be
inaugurated on 7 July during the Town's Day celebration.
