Gbarpolu County was created in 2001, by detaching
from Grand Cape Mount County five of its ten districts (Belleh, Bokomu,
Bopolu, Gbarma, and Kongba).

The flag is shown in a 2008 $25 Liberian postage
stamp, in a detailed, flat representation. It is a red flag with the
usual national flag on the upper hoist (canton) and
showing on the upper fly area a white table cut diamond in profile with dark
blue (or black) holding lines and brightness ticks (?); at the lower fly a tree
in naïve style, with brown trunk and green canopy.

At this
website, the flag image in the $25 2008
stamp seems to use a lighter shade of red for the stripes of the
canton, and a darker one for the background; it is also slightly wider
than 2:3 and the size of the canton larger than is is usually shown for
Liberian county flags.

I just found a Gbarpolu county flag on a different color background and a
slightly different design on an official document of the Gbarpolu County
Development Committee:
