About the Flag

The flag of the Municipality of Marechal Cândido Rondon in the State of Paraná, Brazil, is shown at http://www.mcr.pr.gov.br. It is a green flag with a central red on white stripe, and a white triangle extending from the hoist bearing the municipal arms.

The municipality of Marechal Cândido Rondon (46,799 inhabitants in 2010; 74,800 ha) is located on the border with Paraguay, 580 km of Curitiba.

Marechal Cândido Rondon was formed in the mid 1950s by German colonists enrolled by the Industrial Madeireira Rio Paraná S/A – Marip company. Small estates were allocated to colonists coming from the neighboring states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina.
The district of General Rondon was established within the municipality of Toledo in 1953 and renamed Marechal Cândido Rondon when established a municipality on 25 July 1960. The name of the municipality was "upgraded" after the National Congress had awarded the title of Marshal to General Rondon in 1955.

Marshal Rondon (1865-1958) is most famous for his exploration of Mato Grosso and the Western Amazon Basin, and his lifelong support of Brazilian indigenous populations; he developed telegraph lines all over the country and is honored as the "Father of the Brazilian Telecommunications". One of the most revered Brazilian heroes and patriots, Rondon is the namesake of the State of Rondônia and of the municipalities of Rondon (Pará), Marechal Cândido Rondon (Paraná), Marechal Rondon (Mato Grosso) and Rondonópolis (Mato Grosso), not to mention thousands of streets, schools, ..., and, last but not least, one of the most recently discovered monkey, Rondon's marmoset (Mico rondoni), found in 2010 in Rondônia.
