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 American flag is also known as the âStars and Stripesâ or the âOld Gloryâ. The present design of the United States flag consists of 13 horizontal stripes of alternating colors of red and white, and a blue rectangle in the upper left corner that contains 50 white stars.
