The first official flag of the United States, known as the Betsy Ross flag, featured thirteen red and white stripes and a ring of 13 stars to represent the original thirteen colonies (Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island). This flag was put into use officially on June 14, 1777 with the Flag Resolution of 1977 (This date is now celebrated as Flag Day). It was used until 1795, when the flag was updated to include two more stars for Kentucky and Vermont.
