History
The unofficial flag of Jämtland was adopted in 1983 by regional activists Kent Backman and Bo Oscarsson. Its blue, white, and green stripes represent the clear sky, the snow-capped mountains, and the forests of the region. The three bands also symbolize Jämtland’s three historic districts: Jämtland proper, Härjedalen, and the former parish of Ragunda. It has become a widely used emblem of regional identity and is commonly flown at cultural events, festivals, and private buildings.
