Ruurlo (also Ruurloo) is in northeast Gelderland, c. 20 km east of Zutphen.
The flag is derived from the municipal Coat of Arms; according to Sierksma's 'Gemeentewapens' reminding of 'Derk met de höndekes' (Derk with the doggies), a Wild Hunter (reminding of Wodan, Odin) travelling through the air. The dog is a 'windhond', greyhound. However the origin is very uncertain.
Since 1 Jan 2005 Ruurlo is part of the new municipality of Berkelland.
