The municipality of La Banda (95,178 inhabitants in 2001, therefore
the second most populous municipality in the province) is located 10
km of Santiago del Estero, on the left bank of river Dulce.
La Banda emerged in the late 19th century as a agricultural colony
located close to the San Carlos estate. The appearance of the railway
in 1890 boosted the development of the settlement through immigration
and export of products; La Banda counted more than 6,000 inhabitants
around 1900.
The first autonomous local government, the three-member "Municipal
Commission for La Banda Station", was named and tasked by the
Provincial Law of 4 January 1892. The "Municipal Commission of La
Banda Village" was organized by Provincial Decree No. 55 of 23 January
1905.
La Banda was granted the rank of "ciudad" by the Provincial Assembly
on 16 September 1912. The municipality of La Banda was formally
established on 3 January 1920. Provincial Law No. 907 of 5 August 1925
granted La Banda a locally elected Municipal Council, but elections
were delayed for years by the provincial government. The first elected
Municipal Council was eventually inaugurated on 7 July 1929.
The flag and arms of La Banda were approved by the Municipal Council
on 14 September 2012.
The flag is horizontally divided celeste blue-white-red with the
greater municipal arms in the middle. Celeste blue and white come form
the national flag, while red comes form the provincial flag.
