Found flag of Charles town on the city's official Facebook account:
https://www.facebook.com/cityofcharlestown/photos
It appear to be a
light grey field with a dark bluish border. In the middle is the coat of arms of
the Washington family, as Charles Town was founded by Charles Washington, who
was a member of the Washington family. Above and below the arms are two white
banners with black outlines. The top banner says "1786", the year Charles Town
was incorporated as a city. The bottom banner says "Charles Town".
Here
is a close up image of the sign to the Willingham Knolls Park from google maps.
The sign features the arms, and the banners:

According to an article by the Spirit of Jefferson Farmer's Advocate, Charles
Town's flag is gray and blue for the area's Civil War heritage (blue the Union's
color and gray of the Confederates as you can expect). Of course, the coat of
arms does symbolize the city's deep and abiding heritage related to the
Washington family. I would say it was adopted sometime early in 1990 for
America's independence day, noting the article's publication date.
