The Betsy Ross Flag, featuring 13 stars in a circle and 13 alternating red and white stripes, is often regarded as one of the earliest flags of the United States. The flag symbolizes the original 13 colonies that declared their independence from Great Britain in 1776.

The popular story of Betsy Ross, a Philadelphia seamstress, creating the first American flag at the request of George Washington, Robert Morris, and George Ross in 1776 emerged in 1870 when her grandson, William J. Canby, presented a paper to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania claiming that his grandmother had sewn the flag.

The Continental Congress adopted the 13-star flag on June 14, 1777, with the Flag Resolution stating: “Resolved, That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.”

Although the true origins of the Betsy Ross Flag remain uncertain, it continues to be an important symbol of American history and patriotism.
