Historical Official American Flags

The American flag is one of the most recognizable flags in the world. With its trademark white and red stripes and 50 bold stars, it’s hard to imagine it looking any other way.  However, the American flag wasn’t always the stars and stripes we know today. In fact, the U.S. flag has gone through many changes – 26 to be exact – before it became the iconic symbol that it is today.

Evolution Story


By law, a star is added to the U.S. Flag on the 4th of July following the admission of a state(s) to the Union. Contrary to popular belief, the first official U.S. Flag was not the Betsy Ross Flag (13 Stars in a circle) but the staggered star pattern shown above. It is important to note that no U.S. Flag ever became obsolete. Each flag shown here is still a legal flag and may be flown anytime.

Did you know??? Embroidered star fields started in the early 1960's. Before that they were applique or painted on!
