Amapá - History
Amapá was disputed with France from the 17th to the 19th century. It became a federal territory in 1944 and did not achieve statehood until 1988.
Amapá - Flag
The flag was adopted with decree No. 008 of April 23, 1984. The blue color in the top symbolizes the sky over Ampaná, as well as justice; the green in the middle the native rainforest; the yellow in bottom stands for the union as well as the natural resources. The black in the small strips reminds of the deceased who worked for the state, and the white for the will of the state to live in peace and stability. The symbol in the left symbolizes the Fortress of São José, out of which the state capital grew.
Before 1984 the state had a red-white-red flag very similar to the flag of Peru.
