The municipality of Rubim (9,561 inhabitants in 2009; 969 sq. km) is located on in north-eastern Minas Gerais. It is named for River Rubim do Sul. Rubim is the birth place of the musician and singer Rubinho do Vale (see and listen, for instance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nld6DbtqsIo).

The dates flanking the municipality's name on the white stripe mean:
- 07-09-1918, the date of erection of the village of Rubim, when the first houses used to store goods were built;
- 31-12-1943, the date of municipal foundation and municipal day.
