The so-called Star of October was adopted by the Government of Guayaquil on 9 October 1820 to represent the Free Province of Guayaquil which then comprised the territories of present Guayas, Manabí, Los Rios, El Oro and Santa Elena. | |||
José Joaquin de Olmedo, president of the Supreme Council of the Government of November 1820 ordered that on the official papers of the council there would be a star of five points and a crown of laurel, a red bow and the motto POR GUAYAQUIL INDEPENDIENTE (For an Independent Guayaquil). | |||
This emblem was used from 1821 until June 1822 when the Star of October became known as ‘The Star of the West’ because the province of Guayaquil was the most western province. After the annexation of Guayaquil by Colombia on 26 July 1822 the star was no longer used. | |||
It was readopted on 6 November 1916. | |||
