Summary
About the place: Kunhegyes is a town located in the northeastern part of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County in Hungary, situated in the Great Hungarian Plain region. The town features a rich history linked to Cuman settlement and traditional agriculture.
Flag Description: The flag consists of a vertical blue field. In the center is the complete coat of arms of the town: a blue shield with a green triple mount at the base, upon which rears a silver (white) goat with red tongue and hooves. The shield is surmounted by a golden crown, from which a similar silver goat emerges. The crest features mantling – red and silver on the left side from the observer's view (heraldic dexter), and blue and gold on the right side from the observer's view (heraldic sinister). Below the coat of arms, near the lower portion of the flag, is the black inscription 'KUNHEGYES'.
Symbolism: The blue color of the flag and shield represents the sky and devotion to traditional values. The rearing goat figure on a green triple mount refers to the historical agricultural and pastoral traditions of the region and the Cuman (Kun) heritage from which the town derives its name. The golden crown symbolizes autonomy and civic history, while the mantling completes the traditional heraldic display.
