The official United States flag was established on June 14, 1777, when the Continental Congress adopted the Flag Act, which specified that the flag would consist of 13 stripes and 13 stars representing the original 13 colonies. The design has evolved over the years as new states joined the Union, with the current version featuring 50 stars, which was adopted on July 4, 1960. Flag Day, celebrated on June 14 each year, commemorates the adoption of the flag.
