Description of the flag

The town flag was unveiled at 7:00 PM on August 2, 2001 by the town selectmen. It was designed after about a year of decision making on creating a new logo that would be put onto a flag.

According to a newsclip from the Sun Journal published on August 1, 2001, quoted: "The arrival of the 3-by-5-foot nylon flags depicting the Municipal Building cupola, Morse Bridge, the power station and the sun rising over the Androscoggin River is the result of more than a year's work to develop a logo. The flags have a blue background, and the design printed in light green, light blue, light brown, red and white.

Students from Mountain Valley Middle School helped create the final design, which will become part of the town's identity."

I also found the digital image for the flag on an old Geocities website for Rumford: https://www.geocities.ws/dmaifeld/rumford.html
