Uruguay, on the east coast of South America south of Brazil and east of Argentina, is comparable in size to Oklahoma. The country consists of a low, rolling plain in the south and a low plateau in the north.
The Portuguese make the first move, sending colonists from Brazil in 1680 to establish Colonia Sacramento on the north shore of the Plate estuary immediately opposite Buenos Aires. But in 1726 the governor of Buenos Aires establishes a settlement at Montevideo, also on the north shore of the estuary but further towards the ocean.
The flag of Uruguay was designed using the colors of its neighbor and a fellow former colony of Spain, Argentina, and bears resemblance to the flag of the United States. The flag's design is attributed to Joaquin Suarez, who was the first Head of State of the new nation, and later became president. A version of the flag was adopted in December 1828, but the final version of the flag was officially adopted July 11, 1830.
The flag of Uruguay features nine stripes of alternating white and blue, with white on the top and bottom stripes. In the upper-left corner of the flag, the canton is white with a golden sun, which has sixteen rays of sunshine. The sun, called the Sun of May, is a national symbol of Uruguay, representing the Inca sun god Inti.
The sun emblem is the 'Sun of May'; it is a symbol of freedom and independence. The nine stripes represent the nine provinces of Uruguay, which existed at the time of the flag's creation. The colors of the Uruguay flag were inspired by the flag of Argentina; while the United States national flag influenced the design.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Uruguay flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Some flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Uruguay future.
