Every great neighborhood deserves a great flag
The vibrant community of Westwood is distinguished by its over 80% Latino population, predominantly composed of first and second-generation Mexican immigrants. This Mexican heritage is prominently celebrated in the neighborhood's flag design, along with a distinctive "W" that symbolizes their pride in being a part of this West Side enclave.
The diagonal element on the flag is a nod to Morrison Road, the principal commercial thoroughfare that runs through the heart of the neighborhood, symbolizing the lifeblood of the community. Together, these elements create a flag that encapsulates the rich cultural tapestry, identity, and spirit of Westwood.
