Here is the flag of Lazajsk County in the voivodship of Podkarpackie.
Info from this site:
The district of Leżajsk is situated in the south eastern part of podkarpackie
province. Leżajsk is one of the oldest towns in south eastern Poland. The
beginning of the town was connected with a protoslavonic settlement. Next
to this settlement another one was founded on the river San in the area
of modern village called Stare Miasto. In 1397 the royal village Leżajsk
was granted municipal rights by king Władysław Jagiełło. The tradition
of the district of Leżajsk dates back to the XV-th century. Leżajsk became
the seat of the starosty in years 1425-1772. It was an independent starosty
which is nowadays comprised of the settlements of Leżajsk, Dębno, Giedlarowa,
Sarzyna, Wierzawice, Jelna, Kuryłówka, Ożanna, Rzuchów, Siedlanka, Wywłoka,
Luchów and Ploin. In years 1855-1867 Leżajsk became, for the second time
the seat of a district starosty comprising 33 townships inhabited by 31890
people. It became the seat of a district in 1956-1975. The district comprised
two towns (Leżajsk, Nowa Sarzyna) and 48 villages inhabited by 62000 people.
On 1st January 2000, thanks to administrative reforms Leżajsk became a
district again. At present the district contains the city of Leżajsk, the
commune of Leżajsk, the town and commune of Nowa Sarzyna, the commune of
Kuryłówka and the commune of Grodzisko Dolne each of which having its own
