Steenwijk is the result of a merger of the former municipalities of Brederwiede, IJsselham and Steenwijk (1 Jan 2001), the flag is provisional and is of the former municipality of Steenwijk. Wanneperveen became part of Brederwiede in a merger in 1973, and Steenwijkerwold was split up among all three former municipalities. The municipality was renamed on 1 Jan 2003 to Steenwijkerland.
The municipality of Steenwijkerland in the beautiful northwestern corner of the province, hemmed in by Fryslân, Drenthe and Flevoland, adopted on 18 Feb 2003 a new municipal flag: the municipal logo on a white field; how it looks when there's no wind: see this webpage. No new Coat of Arms adopted yet.
