The flag of The Hague was on established on December 2, 1920 by a decision of the municipal government of The Hague. In 1920, it was decided that the flag would consist of two equal stripes of green and yellow. On March 28, 1949 the colors were modified. The order of the colors was reversed and the hue of the green stripe was changed. The current flag has a horizontal bicolour of yellow at the top and green at the bottom. Before 1920, The Hague colours were yellow and black. Black was presumably changed to green because green better symbolizes the peat soil on which The Hague was partly built. For the other part, The Hague was built on sandy soil (yellow). More plausibly, the green colour comes from the municipal coat of arms on which it is reflected in a grass field, on which a stork is depicted.
