According to an article published by The Miami Herald on September 9th, 1990, 
West Miami's first flag was designed in 1970 by a longtime resident and 
community newspaper company owner Morris Harris. It was given to the City 
Government as a gift, and flown unofficially throughout the city until the 
adoption of a tricolor on September 9th, 1990.
The 1970 flag was replaced 
after the final one the city posessed became too delapidated and frayed to 
continue service. The tricolor was blue, white, and grey with the old city seal 
placed in the middle; a design reccomended by a local flag company to match that 
of the city's vehicles and equipment.
Commissioner Rebecca Sosa suggested 
the idea of letting schoolchildren design the city's new flag, but this idea 
never went anywhere.
The tricolor flag has been replaced as of 2024.
