Description of the Flag

A black (or navy blue?) flag, bearing the image of the map of Florida in white, with Lake County identified by a black rectangle. Toward the hoist in large block letters on three lines: LAKE COUNTY FLORIDA. The website at hometown.aol.com/lakehistory1887/ claims "Lake County was the first county in the United States to have its own flag."

The image above shows that the flag is indeed blue.

According to Legendary Locals of Lake County, Florida, the flag of Lake County was designed by Karl Lehmann, a Montverde resident who was leader of the county’s chamber of commerce, to celebrate the county’s 50th anniversary, which happened on May 27, 1937. The flag was probably first hoisted that day but this is not confirmed.

The historical society, and thus the book, says it was the first county flag in the nation, but I heavily doubt it.
