The canton was formed on 27 April 1981.
The flag of Archidona is shown, as a drawing, on the municipal
website, as horizontally divided green-white-ref (2:1:1) with
five blue stars in the white stripe.
It is described as follows: "The staff, of black colour,
symbolizes the obstination of the native lineage, the oil
resources and a tribute to the folklore festival. Green
symbolizes the exuberant vegetation, the mythic and mysterious
ancestors, the exotic beauty of the tourism resources and a
unique biodiversity. White expresses the purity of the eternal
snows and the crystalline waters of the sources and waterfalls.
Red symbolizes the virtue, the blood shed by the heroes for the
defense and integrity of their lineage and the harmonic
development of the region. The five stars in the central stripe
symbolizes the parishes forming the Canton of Archidona."
The shield of the municipal coat of arms is flanked by two
municipal flags. Exact location and size of the stars not known
Note that the Canton of Archidona is currently made of only three
parishes of Archidona, Cotundo and San Pablo de Ushpayucu!
The Previously Reported Flag of Archidona is
horizontally divided yellow- white-green with five blue stars in
the middle.
The source is given as the PDF
document available on the website of the Association of
Ecuadorian Municipalities.
In the document currently available, the flag is shown as
horizontally divided green-white with a yellow triangle placed
along the hoist (Reported WRONG Flag). The
coat of arms, flanked by the municipal and provincial flag, is
also completely different from the one shown on the municipal
website. These symbols are indeed those of the Canton of Carlos Julio Arosemena Tola. The very
same PDF document is available with the heading
"Cantonal symbols of Carlos Julio Arosemena Tola" on
the website of the Association
of Ecuadorian Municipalities.

The second PDF document is from two months later, the choruses
of the anthem are ordered differently, and it doesn't have the
reference for the Kishwa words. But there's not much difference
between the flags. (The illustration of the arms is slightly
brighter, though, which is especially noticeable for the green.).

The image above was based on PDF
document available on the website of the Association of
Ecuadorian Municipalities. This website now shows a different
flag (Reported WRONG Flag).

I redrawn the flag image not because the one we have now uses unstandard
color shades or its pixel size is off (like many others I’ve been redrawing),
but just because this new one is antialised and I had drawn several others with
the same geometry that this one was just asking to be created, too.
