The flag developed over time. Francis Hopkins designed the first flag for the navy in1776 and Congress has recognized him as the designer ( not Ross). When the United States began there were 13 stars, but as states were added so were stars. The last two stars were added in 1959 when Alaska and Hawaii were added.
