"Por Acuerdo N° 001, del 19 de Noviembre de 1982, el
Concejo de Envigado, adoptó la bandera Municipal, acogiéndose a
las normas establecidas en nuestra constitución.
De acuerdo al articulado del mandato edilicio, se tomó el color
verde como símbolo de la Antioqueñ:idad que siempre ha
caracterizado a las gentes de Envigado, unido al color naranja
emblema de la pujanza, dinamismo y proyección hacia el
desarrollo y el progreso constante de permanente vigencia en la
ciudad."

The flag was officially adopted by Decree #001 on 19 November
1982. Green represents Antioquian character
("Antioquieñidad") Orange represents power, dynamism
and progress.
Envigado was granted municipal status in 1814. It has the highest
standard of living among the Colombian municipalities.
