Shown on http://www.lsg-suedwest.de/aktuell.htm [not retrievable] is a white flag bearing a green
linden leaf. This flag can be considered a regional flag used in the North of
Switzerland – Canton of Aargau, to be precisely – but as a banner of arms it also
evokes the short-lived Canton of Fricktal (1802–03) as part of the Helvetic Republic.
Before that, it was the Austrian "Amt" or district Frick.
See
following history map (top of page, where "24" represents this territory):

One of three stars in
the Aargau arms, and consequently in the flag,
represents Fricktal (Frick Valley). The Fricktal arms are now borne by
Schupfart (AG) (since 1872).
Born out of
revolutionary turmoil and liquidated to the advantage of Aargau, Fricktal lives
on as a geographically distinct area and its name is used in lower-level
administrative bodies of various kinds.

Fricktal emerged as a separate entity when Aargau was split up in the
fifteenth century. In 1803 Fricktal was joined with the other two parts of
Aargau territory to create the current canton of Aargau.
