The parish of San Antonio (6,705 inhabitants; 3,220 ha) is located in the
southwest of Chone canton (Manabi province).
San Antonio was originally
known as El Peludo. This odd name ("Hairy") refers either to the local
vegetation, characterized by a grass locally known as "peludo" (seemingly,
signal grass, Brachiaria decumbens Stapf), or a man whose body was
fully covered with hair. The resources in cocoa, gold and emeralds attracted
several colonists in the area. Benito Santos is said to have established a river
port to export local products. He is also credited the foundation of the first
manufacture in the province, which produced ice, cloth, matches and cigars.
Santos was succeeded by his son, Elio; the manufacture was subsequently closed,
resulting in the suppression of the village. The modern village was established
by Beatriz Solórzano and her sons.
On 13 June 1914, St. Anthony of
Padua's Day, a battle opposed the Conservatives and the Liberals led by Colonel
Carlos Concha Torres (1864-1918), during the uprising known as the Concha War
(1913-1916). The village of El Peludo was renamed San Antonio to recall the
event. The rural parish of San Antonio was established on 12 December 1944.

The flag of San Antonio is prescribed by an Ordinance issued on 24 November
1988 by the Government of Chone. The flag is horizontally divided blue-green
with a white triangle placed along the hoist and charged with a red disc.
The blue stripe represents river Chone. The green stripe represents the
fertility of the plains and pastures, where "peludo", cocoa and rice are grown.
The white triangle is a symbol of union and aspiration to excellence. The red
disc recalls the battle fought on 13 June 1914.
