Image of the
former flag attached from The Norwalk Hour of September 12, 1951, thanks to the
work of an employee at the Norwalk History Room in locating it.
According to The Bridgeport Telegram of June 27, 1951, Norwalk adopted a city
flag which was submitted by Mrs. Dorothy Chase, who was the chairman of a
publicity committee for the 300th anniversary of the city. She declared that she
created the flag because it was apparently needed for many activities planned
for the celebration of the anniversary. However, the design was actually the
collaborative effort of five art students in the high school, who were: Nettie
Souppe, Charlene Williams, Phyllis Baker, Byrd Stone, and Barbara Brickner. The
flag was adopted on the night of June 26, 1951.
The flag has a dark green
background, similar to the official high school colors. Its lettering and
designs are white. The flag displays an old well, signifying South Norwalk which
in its early history was designated as "Old Well". The old bridge that crossed
Wall Street over the Norwalk River is also depicted. As for the lettering, 1651
is shown, the year of foundation.

There is another flag used for the 300th anniversary of Norwalk, being the
tricentennial flag. It appears to depict Roger Ludlow exchanging(?) with two
Native Americans, perhaps one of them Chief Mahackemo.
