The very first was was adopted on February 24, 1821 almost at the end of the Mexican War of Independence (1810 - 1821). Successive designs were adopted on 1823, 1864, 1867, 1893, 1916, 1934 and the final, present design which was adopted on September 16, 1968.

In 1821, the year Mexico became a sovereign nation, the new government established the national flag which was green, white, and red. It portrayed the national coat of arms with an eagle in various designs used by the military and government.

In 1823, the second national flag was adopted when the first Republic was established in 1823. The flag that represented this republic had the same colors, the image in the center was only that of an eagle's talon and oak and laurel branches.

In 1865, a third official flag was established by the Second Mexican Empire, and by Emperor Maximilian in particular. This flag had the same color pattern, but with the national arms on the white stripe and with four eagles at each corner of the flag. This flag did not last long however. By 1867, the Mexican people overthrew and executed the Emperor, and the second flag was re-adopted by the people as the national flag.

Finally, in 1968, Mexico officially adopted the current version of the Mexican flag.
