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.
