Overview

Carrillo Canton (29,914 inhabitants, 57,754 ha) is made of the four districts of Filadelfia (capital), Palmira, Sardinal and Belén. Carrillo Canton was established by Decree No. 22 of 16 June 1877. The canton is named for Braulio Carrillo Colina (1800-1845), head of the State in 1835-1837 and 1838-1842. Filadelfia, originally known as Sietecueros, was renamed in 1877 for the soldier Filadelfo Soto.

The Flag

The flag of Carrillo is horizontally divided yellow-green. The colours of the flag go together with the natural environment. Green and yellow tangibly represent the ambient environment, harmony, growth and exuberance that can be admired on the banks of the rivers and along the seashore at our 27 beaches. Yellow is a symbol of the agricultural resources, permitted by the solidarity of the inhabitants. Dark green suggests stability, resistance and peace (olive).
