From Wikipedia:
"The Royal Borough of Arima (population 35,000) is the
fourth largest town in Trinidad and Tobago. Located 26 km (16
miles) east of the capital, Port of Spain, Arima supports the
only organised indigenous community in the country, the Santa
Rosa Carib Community and is the seat of the Carib Queen
(currently Valentina Medina). Arima was founded in 1757 by
Capuchin friars as a mission to convert the Amerindian population
to Christianity. The name is reported to mean "water".
Arima petitioned Queen Victoria for municipal status as part of
her Golden Jubilee in 1887. This was granted the following year
and Arima became a Royal Borough on August 1, 1888. Historically
the third town of Trinidad, Arima has slid into fourth position
as Chaguanas has boomed into the largest town in the
country."

The flag can be seen on a photo on the starting page's slideshow
on the official
Arima borough's website. I'm not certain about the colour of
the cross, but according to the second photo of the slideshow it
is dark blue.

The cross of the flag looks black in the photograph but in fact it is blue
(and even not dark blue, as was guessed by Valentin Poposki).
