The Flag Bulletin, Vol VI, Nº 1-2 (Winter 1966-67), pg. 56 states:
"Koszalin [pop. 52,000] A town since 1266 and the capital of a voyvody since 1950. The first city flag, from the 19th century, was white over red, containing the colors of the often changed coat of arms. In 1960 a new coat of arms was adopted: on blue a silver horseman holding a shield with the Polish eagle and a banner with the Pomeranian griffin. The new city flag is of white over light blue horizontal stripes."
