The flag is white with a wide red border charged with 8 yellow crosses and has a purple lion rampant in the white panel. This is a banner of the municipal arms.

São Vicente is one of the suburban municipalities that surrounds the big metropolis of São Paulo, occupying an area of 148 sq.km (rather small for Brazilian standards) inhabited by nearly 315,000 people. It bears the distinction of having been the very first town founded by the Portuguese in the Americas, back in 1532.
