We do not know who designed the first American flag.
There have been many historians who have researched this question, and none has been able to come up with a definitive answer. The idea that Betsy Ross designed the flag seems to have appeared for the first time at about the time of the Centenary Celebrations, in 1876, a hundred years after the flag first appeared.
There are many people who have been suggested as the first designer, but there is no hard historical evidence to support any of them. The first description of the design came from the Maritime Committee of the Second Continental Congress, in 1777, but this seems to have been a formal adoption of an already extant design from an unknown source.
- On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress, on a motion from John Adams, adopted the stars and stripes as the national flag. History leaves its students with very few clues as to who designed and created the original flag, but it has been long attributed to the Philadelphia seamstress and upholsterer. So widely accepted is the story of this legendary flagmaker, the United States government issued a commemorative postage stamp in 1952 in celebration of the two hundredth anniversary of her birth.
- Betsy Ross did NOT make the first flag of the United States of America.
- Mary Pickersgill made the large flag that flew over Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor during the War of 1812. This 15-star, 15-stripe flag is the one that Francis Scott Key saw on the morning of September 14, 1814 after an all night British bombardment. He penned the poem "In Defense of Fort McHenry" which later became our National Anthem. This "Star Spangled Banner" is on display in the Smithsonian institution Museum in Washington, DC. - the original flag from the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812.
- A technicality: Our flag is NOT the "American flag"... it is the flag of the United States of America. All of the countries in North America, Central America, and South America have their own national flags. They too would be "American flags."
