The municipality of Nopuranga (6,817 inhabitants in 2010; 34,827 ha) is located 375 km of São Paulo.
The symbols of Nuporanga are prescribed by Municipal Law No. 627 of 5 June 1978. The symbols were designed by the local writer José Aleixo Irmão, who published in 1980 the book "Símbolos de Nuporanga - Brasão, bandeira e hino".
The flag is quartered white-green by a red cross. The municipal coat of arms is placed in the first quarter.
