's-Gravenmoer [former municipality]
This flag was approved by the municipal council on 10 May 1973.
In 1973 's Gravenmoer received a flag, designed by the archivary G.J. Rehm. It consists of three stripes in the colors national blue, red, and national yellow. Blue and yellow represent the quarters of de Straat and de Vaart, which together form 's Gravenmoer. The narrow red stripe represents the moor-canal, the "Oude Vaart", dug for the exploitation of the area in the first years of the village.
