Best Answer

The US flag had 49 stars for one year from 1959 July 4 to 1960.


Both Alaska and Hawaii joined the union in 1959, with Alaska joining on January 3, and Hawaii joining after July 4 on August 21.


On1960 July 4,the 50th star was added to the US flag to represent Hawaii, the 50th state, making the official flag the same one that is in use today.

Why did the US flag have 49 stars?

For a very brief period of time - between Alaska's statehood on January 3, 1959 to Hawaii's statehood on August 21, 1959 - there were 49 states, so there were 49 stars on the US flag. Hawaii was the 50th state to join the Union. It was a territory of the United States since 1898. Prior to that, it had been a sovereign nation. Territories of the United States do not have a star on the U.S. flag.
