Description of the Flag

The flag was designed by Ronnie Torres, the Mayor of Belen with the help of Bruce Prater of Graphics Art Station, a local business in Belen. Mr. Torres wanted the flag to signify Belen as the City different. The train is to represent the long time relationship of Belen with the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad "BNSF"� and the Harvey Museum associated with the railroad. The Star is representative of the star of Bethlehem, the meaning of Belen, being Bethlehem."
 
Information received by Anita Romero, Administrative Assistant, City of Belen, New Mexico.
