A photo at http://ci.champlin.mn.us/elected/city/counci5.jpg (no longer
available) suggested that the city flag uses the city logo on a white
background. Champlin is located in northern Hennepin County on the west bank of
the Mississippi River about 17 miles northwest of Minneapolis. The average
elevation is 875 feet above sea level and the Mississippi River is approximately
one-eighth of a mile wide. The City is approximately 8 square miles in size and
has 22,492 residents. It is bounded by the Mississippi River on the east and
north, Brooklyn Park and Maple Grove on the south, and Dayton and the Elm Creek
Park on the west.

Based on a web page http://murray-countymn.com/dovray/ (no longer available),
Dovray uses the Norwegian flag. It is uncertain if it is
official. Dovray is located in Southwest Minnesota on the eastern side of Murray
County. It is five minutes from Currie, Minnesota, fifteen minutes to Lake
Shetek State Park, and it is twenty minutes north east of Slayton, Minnesota,
the county seat. The first settlers in the area came from Dovre, Gudbrandsdalen
in Norway, and, when the township and the town were organized, it was named
Dovray. Today, the Norwegian traditions continue in the town's celebration of
Uffa Day, which is held every even numbered year.

Fosston's flag , logo on white, can be seen behind the mayor
here, although this image now appears to be unlinked. We have archived the
image here.

The Tyler website at
http://www.tylermn.com/ repeatedly shows the use of the
Danish flag as the flag of Tyler. I am not sure if it is the official flag,
or simply denotes many Danish settlers in the area.
