The flag of Alagoas displays the state coat of arms centered on a field divided into three horizontal stripes of blue, white, and red. The coat of arms features a shield with symbols representing the state's industries — cotton, sugarcane, and cattle — surrounded by laurel and coffee branches. The blue, white, and red tricolor echoes the colors of the French Republic, reflecting the revolutionary ideals that inspired Brazilian independence movements.
Alagoas was home to the Quilombo dos Palmares, the largest community of escaped enslaved people in the Americas, which lasted nearly a century before falling in 1694.
Adopted: 1963
