Muisne means "plenty" in Chachi language. Muisne was established on 4 July 1861 as a parish depending on canton Esmeraldas and elevated to a canton on 3 October 1956, then composed of the capital and of four parishes: San Francisco del Cabo, San Gregorio, Bolívar and Chamanga. A fifth parish, Galera, was established on 5 October 1957, Subsequently, another three parishes were added: Quingue (or Olmedo Perdomo Franco), Daule and Sálima.

The flag of Muisne is horizontally divided blue-green with a big white star in the centre, surmounted by another eight smaller stars arranged in a semi-circular pattern. The stars represent, beyond reasonable doubt, the town of Muisne and the eight parishes that compose the canton.
