This city of 56,316 inhabitants was founded in 1722 and became
autonomous (as a municipality, I suppose) in 1793. The text does
not say much about the flag... In the Coat of Arms, the yellow
(or rather gold) represents the [rising] sun, Humacao being
located in the eastern part of the island. Green stands for the
tropical nature of the valley, but also the Native Indian
heritage. Humacao is in east Puerto Rico

Flag-description: 'pendiente' (pending?).
Jarig Bakker, 1 Febuary 2000
Concering "pendiente" - in Spanish it can be an
adjective (hanging, depending) or a noun (earring). I have never
seen it used in a flag context.
Santiago Dotor, 1 Febuary 2000
The flag of Humacao consists of three stripes with the middle
one narrower: colors are yellow/red/green.

Humacao - Its colors are based in the Coat of Arms: yellow,
red, and green. Yellow (gold) represents the color of the Indian
Chief Humacao's crown, and Jesus' monogram. Red is for the small
shield, and green represents the arrows color.

The coat of arms consists of two colors, gold and green. The
gold represents the sun, Humacao is located in the island were
the sun rises. Green symbolizes our native Indian heritage as
well as the natural tropical valley where the city is located.
The shield itself represents Humacao's native and Indian name
origin and the Christian backbone of the town. The crown above
the shield is standard of all cities and towns close to Humacao
area ordered by the Royal Spanish Crown. It also represents Chief
Jumacao's royalty. The other two components of the shield are the
two arrows and a small shield. The arrows represent the two wars
Jumacao fought against the Spanish during the XVI century. The
small shield in the center represents the name of Humacao's
Catholic Church; Dulce Nombre De Jesús. The shield was designed
by Roberto Biascochea Lota in 1975 and was adopted by the
Municipal Assembly that same year in November.
