History

The first official American flag was known as the Grand Union Flag and actually featured the Union Jack of the United Kingdom in the canton field that we now see as a field of blue with 50 white stars. When a more American design was adopted in July 1777, it had the familiar red-and-white stripes with a blue field in the canton that boasted a ring of 13 white stars.

The version of the American flag shown here was designed by 17-year-old Robert G. Heft in 1958. His design included the now-familiar field of 50 white stars, but was adopted by the nation at a time when Alaska had been admitted as the 49^th state in the Union, but Hawaii had not yet been admitted to the Union.
