In 1795 and again in 1818.
In 1795 after Vermont and Kentucky were admitted to the USA two more stars and two more stripes were added to the flag of the United States of America. This 15 star 15 stripe US flag lasted until 1818 when five more states were admitted. At that time the US Congress decided to revert to the original 13 alternating red and white stripes and add a star to represent each new state. The 15 star 15 stripe flag is known as the "Star Spangled Banner" the flag of our National Anthem.
