The flag of Mato Grosso is the official flag of the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso. The current flag was introduced on 31 January 1890 by the 2nd Decree of the state of Mato Grosso.[1] It was introduced only 2 months after the Empire of Brazil was overthrown and the First Brazilian Republic was created, making this one of the first Brazilian state flags. As such, it uses the same colors and symbolism used in the Brazilian flag to signify the republican ideals of the founders of the newly formed nation.[2]
