Description of the Flag

Atlantic, Iowa
an extract from The Nonpareil states,
“The Atlantic Chamber of Commerce has presented the City Council with the first Atlantic flag. It was designed by Bill Casteel in a chamber contest last fall. The flag contains two panels of green and one of white. The central design features wreaths of grain on either side of an open book. Atlantic is above the book and 1868 and Iowa are below. The date stands for the year the community was founded. Imposed on the book is the figure of a person holding a hammer and a hoe. The person is Atlantic – a businessman and a farmer. The hammer is used to signify industry, and the hoe, agriculture. The open book symbolizes the community's education system and the wreaths of grain symbolize the abundance of the community. The tree stands for life and growth."
