1 The origin of the first American flag is unknown. Some historians believe it was designed by New Jersey Congressman Francis Hopkinson and sewn by Philadelphia seamstress Betsy Ross.  The name Old Glory was given to a large, 10-by-17-foot flag by its owner, William Driver, a sea captain from Massachusetts.
The current flag design was due to Governor Francis P. Flemingin the 1980's, who suggested that the red x be added to the flag which once had a plain white backround. White flags represnt retreat, so the Governor reccomended the add in the design to ammend that.
