Silviu Andrieş-Tabac, "Introducere în heraldică. Noţiuni generale şi întregiri la armorialul teritorial românesc" (Introduction to heraldry. General concepts and completions to the Romanian territorial armorial), Editura Universităţii din Bucureşti, Bucureşti, 2008, ISBN 978-973-737-443-1, reported that between 1998 and 2003 the territory of the Republic of Moldova was divided into 9, then 10 counties ("judeţ"), apart from the capital, Chisinau, and 2 autonomous units (Gagauzia and Transdnistria).

The National Commission of Heraldry of RM elaborated the coat of arms (2000) and flags (2001) of these counties. The flags were conceived as to display the main colors and charges of their respective coat of arms. The proportion of all the fields is 1:2, as in the state flag.

Chişinău county, capital Chişinău, used a flag divided per pale: red hoist, with a white oak tree with roots in the center; white fly. The oak tree is the old emblem of the county, and also a symbol of the ancient Orhei Forest.
