		The name Lares (LAH-res) is derived from the Basque names "laris" or "lariz" determined by the presence in the region of don Amador Lariz, a colonizer of the sixteeth century that owned a ranch in the area.
		Thus, the municipal flag of Lares is none other than the historical flag proposed by the patriarch Dr. Ramon Emeterio Betances for the Republic of Puerto Rico, and that has been named "Flag of Lares" due to the fact that it had been hoisted by the revolutionaries on September 23, 1868.
		The chain that surrounds the shield is a talking soul that represents the name of the town of Lares in which the last name of the Spanish colonizers Rodrigo and Amador de Lares are perpetuated.
