The flag of Bayport was designed by R. Nathan Bliss in response to the mayor's plans to replace the former flag with one that included the city logo (designed by Craig Parent, graphic artist from Stillwater Minnesota).

Not wanting to see his city have a flag like so many others (a logo on a white sheet) Nathan designed about 3 dozen flags, all including the city logo, selected the best 12 and presented them to the city council. The council accepted the design shown here on 1 July 1996.

The city's logo is seen near the upper hoist. The white triangle symbolizes the three smaller communitites that combined to form Bayport (Bangor, Middletown, and Baytown). The Blue represents the Saint Croix River, the Green the land the city sits upon, and the gold the prosperity created by the two together.
