Summary
About the place: Dombrád is a town in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county in northeastern Hungary, situated along the Tisza River in the Great Hungarian Plain. It is well known for its riverside resort area and rich history dating back to the 11th century.
Flag Description: The flag consists of a wide horizontal white stripe, bordered at the top and bottom by narrower yellow stripes. In the center of the white field is the full coat of arms of Dombrád. The shield is vertically divided; the viewer's left (heraldic dexter) shows a red crayfish on a yellow field above blue wavy lines in the base, while the viewer's right (heraldic sinister) displays a golden leaping stag on a green triple mount against a blue field. Above the shield is a helmet with a crown and elaborate mantling (blue and silver on the left, red and gold on the right). Below the shield, a ribbon in the Hungarian national colors bears the text DOMBRÁD and the year 1067.
Symbolism: The yellow and white colors on the flag field reflect the primary hues of the town's coat of arms. The red crayfish and wavy lines represent the Tisza River and the region's traditional fishing heritage. The golden stag signifies the rich wildlife, forests, and hunting traditions of the surrounding area. The year 1067 on the national-colored ribbon commemorates the first written mention of the settlement.
