 | | The Gilroy Dispatch reported on 23 July 2003 that the city of Gilroy, California -- famous as the home of the Gilroy Garlic Festival -- has adopted a flag. |
 | | It apparently existed when Gilroy was incorporated in 1860, as a wafer impression later colored in fl and white appears on the city charter. |
 | | The items in the lower foreground of the central image of the seal, directly beneath the railway train, are various fruits, nuts, wine, and other types of agricultural produce grown in Gilroy around 1860 and which were shipped by train to Stockton, San Francisco/Oakland, or Sacramento; Gilroy was the railhead for the surrounding area. |
