National Archives website: “Approved by President George
Washington on January 13, 1794, this act called for the Flag
of the United States to have fifteen stripes and fifteen stars,
reflecting the admission of Vermont and Kentucky to the
Union. Faced with the admission of five more states in 1818,
the flag design would return to the original thirteen stripes.

the earliest known U.S. flag in existence.
