History of The Flag of French Guiana
French Guiana, as a French overseas department, does not have its own official national flag and thus officially uses the flag of France, adopted on February 15, 1794. The local flag, which reflects the territory's distinct identity, was created and has been used unofficially since the 1970s. It was designed by the Union of Guianese Workers, a political group advocating for the region's autonomy and social progress. Despite not having official status, this local flag is widely recognized and used within French Guiana, especially during cultural and sporting events, representing the pride and unique heritage of the Guianese people.
