The municipality of Colniza (31,597 inhabitants in 2009; 27,948 sq. km) is
located in the north-western corner of Mato Grosso, bordering the States of
Rondônia and Amazonas. Colniza was planned in the 1970s but actually emerged in
the 1980s. Originally a District of Aripuanã, Colniza became a municipality by
State Law No. 7604 of 26 November 1998.
The flag was adopted in a contest
open to the municipal and state schools. Designed by Pr.
Márcio Aparecido Lopes Pereira, the flag is prescribed by Law No. 162-3 of 3
November 2004. The flag is divided green-blue along the descending diagonal,
with a white "Brazilian" lozenge charged with a round emblem. The upper
part of the emblem shows an orange rising sun on a yellow background,
symbolizing the structuring and expanding municipality. The lower, main part
of the emblem is green with two rice panicles and two coffee branches,
representing the two main crops in the area. The horizontal line separating
the two parts of the emblem symbolizes the development of cattle breeding.
Green represents hope, the exuberant flora and the economic importance of
plant products; yellow represents different resources: plant products,
timber, mining and cattle breeding; blue represents the sky and the waters;
white represents faith, charisma, humility, life and peace. The orange sun
represents the strength and hospitality of the local people. Red represents
struggle and conquest of ideals. Argent represents the separation from the
neighbouring municipalities.
