Historical Flags of the U.S.
There has been 27 legal flags flown throughout our history. 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. It is important to note that no U.S. Flag ever becomes obsolete.
