The yellow horizontal line: represents the rivers of the Province, and in particular the Chubut River, that crosses the territory from the West to the East and of from which the Province takes its name. This line expresses "the two historical stages of the political organization: the [historical] National Territory and the [present day] Province".

    Designer of the flag

    The flag was designed by Roxana Vanesa Jones, a noted painter born in 1977 in Gaiman and currently living and working in Puerto Madryn. The designer expected to link the flag with the provincial coat of arms, using some of its most significant elements as "a symbol of unity between all those who were born in the province". She attempted "to respect the Chubut identity and to synthesise historical, cultural, aesthetic and communication aspects".
