middle, on which there are three crosslike yellow arrows. Four
sides of the gonfalon have yellow edging with width of 3/100 of

At <www.online.km.ua>
you may read about the Project of "Flag and Coat of Arms
Regulations". The flag-image is differs from the description
in the Project which says: "The flag of Khmelnitsky town is
a rectangular banner, which consists of two horizonthal stripes.
Ratio - 2:2,8. Upper stripe is blue, bottom stripe is yellow.
There are municipal Coat of Arms on a hoist part of the blue
stripe. Height of the Coat of Arms equal to 2/3 of blue stripe
height. ... "
The flag was adopted on October, 29,1997. Desigher of the flag -
V. Ilyinsky, teacher of history and theory of culture. I think
that the "Project of Regulations" was not adopted...

"On the 27th of September 1990 town council session of
Khmel'nyts'kyi confirmed a modern Coat of Arms - in an azure
field you see three or arrows in cross. The central arrow laid
with its point down, the two others - with their points up."
Phil Nelson, 7 July 1999
The Coat of Arms was adopted on September, 27, 1990. Similar
Coat of Arms were granted to Proskurov (former name of
Khmelnitsky) by russian empress Ekatherina II in 1796. Three
crossed arrows were on the Coat of Arms of family of Zamojsky,
they operated in Proskurov very long time (since 1550 to XVIII
c.).

"Capital of Khmelnytskyi Oblast. It is situated on the banks
of the Pivdennyi Bug and the Ploska. The first written mentions
refer to the XV century. The origin of the first name of the town
Ploskyriv comes from the word "rov" meaning a ravine
and the name of the river Ploska. Since the XVIII century the
town was called Proskuriv. It was renamed in 1954."
