The first flag flown over Canadian soil was the Union Jack, which represented British sovereignty over the territory. This flag was raised during the early colonial period, starting with the establishment of European settlements in the 16th and 17th centuries. Later, in 1868, the Red Ensign was adopted as Canada's first official flag, though it was not recognized as the national flag until 1945. The current national flag, featuring a red maple leaf, was adopted on February 15, 1965.

What flag was flown over the Alamo?

The "Alamo flag" is often thought to be the same basic design as the flag of Mexico with three vertical stripes (green to the left, white in the middle and red to the right) with the date1824 in the very center of the flag's white stripe. There may be no solid proof that this was the "Alamo flag" at the time of the battle. The most likely flag flying over the Alamo in March of 1836 was the "New Orleans Greys" flag - a gray-blue flag with the words "First Company of Texan Volunteers." This flag was believed to have been taken by the Mexican General Santa Anna who led the battle against the Texans at the Alamo. The flag is still in the possession of Mexico.
