Historical flags FlagDateDescription 1534–1820 The Cross of Burgundy flag of the Spanish colonial empire flew over Ecuador for many years. 1809–1812 The leaders of a rebellion against the Spanish authorities raised a reversed Cross of Burgundy flag in Quito on 10 August 1809. The uprising was defeated in 1812. 1820–1822 A flag with five horizontal stripes of blue and white and three stars in the middle stripe. This flag subsequently became that of the Guayas Province, and was first raised by the patriots in the liberation of 9 October 1820. 1822 The previous flag was changed by decree of 2 June 1822: "The flag of the free province of Guayaquil shall be white and its first quarter blue with a centered star." 1822–1830 Ecuador was subsumed into Gran Colombia, during which time the Colombian horizontal tricolour became definitive.
