![[Local Council of Yoqne'am Illit (Israel)]](../images/i/il-lcyqn1.gif) image by Dov Gutterman | 2:3    Emblem adopted 28 December 1961 |
Local Council Yoqne'am Illit (meaning Upper Yoqne'am, after
the nearby Yoqne'am colony est. 1935, itself named after Joshua 12:22)
is situated on the border of Jizrael Valley and Carmel
(and Menashe) mounts, SE of Haifa. Pop: 12'000.
In the two visits I made there were no flags on the city hall
which is under construction. I was told that the emblem on
various colours is used. Until confirmation I made a blue on
light blue with the original emblem. The municipal emblem was
published in the official gazette (Rashumot),
'Publications Gazette' section (Yalkut ha'Pirsumim), YP
898, 28 December 1961, for the then Local Council Yoqne'am. I
suspect that the flags may carry a revised inscription with
"Illit" added.

In my visit of 19 July the flag was there (and more then one).
It is white and charged with the emblem in blue-green-white (see Previous Flag below).
Dov Gutterman, 23 July 2003
Yoqne'am Illit (usually called just Yoqne'am and the original
nearby Yoqne'am is called Yoqne'am-Moshava
(Yoqne'am-Colony) was established as transitional residency and
as frequently happened became a permanent community.
Yoqne'am is mentioned twice in the bible (Joshua 12:22
and 19:11) as the southern border of
Zevulun tribe estate. Local coucil since 1967 with 17'000 inh. (2004).
No information on symbols at the official site [partially retrievable].
Dov Gutterman, 15 April 2005
In my visit of 4 May 2005, I noticed that only one type of
flag is used now – 2:3 blue with wide white border all around and
charged with the emblem with inscriptions YOQNEAM in Hebrew
(above the emblem) and English (below) in white.
