The first stars & stripes were sewn by Elizabeth Ross of Philadelphia from a design by Francis Hopkinson, a member of the Continental Congress. On June 14, 1777 - a date we now celebrate as Flag Day - Congress adopted the new design. Click the link for the sizes and varieties of Betsy Ross flags that are available.

This flag was presented by George Washington and Massachusetts Governor John Hancock to the only all black military unit of the American revolution. They were volunteer "freemen of color" and were presented this flag for valor during a ceremony toward the end of the War. We stock most sizes of the hard-to-find City of Philadelphia flag.
