Historical Information

Officially adopted on March 18, 1976, along with the official anthem 'Aruba Dushi Tera'. It was chosen on March 18 because it was on this day in 1948 that Holland accepted Aruba's right to choose for an autonomous status in the kingdom of the Netherlands. The Aruba flag has four colours: bunting yellow, larkspur (or U.N.) blue, Union red and white. Each of these colours is significant: the blue represents the sea that surrounds Aruba; yellow is the colour of abundance, representing the island's past and present industries of gold, aloe and oil; red is for love each Aruban has for his or her country and the ancient industry of Brazil wood; and white symbolized the snow-white beaches as well as the purity of the hearts of Aruba's people who strive for justice, order and liberty. The symbols on the flag consist of a red star and two yellow stripes. The star also represents the island itself, surrounded by the beautiful blue sea. The horizontal yellow stripes denote the free and separate position.
