A New Flag Flew Over the U.S. Capitol
April 12, 1818
After five new states joined the Union in 1818 the government settled on the present formula with stars equaling the number of states in the union, and stripes always representing the 13 original colonies. When a new state is admitted to the union, on what day does the government add a new star? Independence Day, of course.Pass along your flag knowledge to friends and family.
