    The flag off The United States has gone through how many changes since the union of thirteen states adopted it? Which version of the flag holds the record for the longest time it has gone unchanged?

    Question #74030. Asked by skysmom65. (Jan 01 07 9:52 PM)

    		The US flag has changed 27 times since the original thirteen were in a circular pattern.

    The flag had 48 stars for the longest time, from July 4, 1912, until July 4, 1959, for a span of 47 years. Provided no more states enter into the Union, on July 4, 2007, we will have 48 and 50 tied for the longest, since the current flag has been flown since July 4, 1960.

    		48 Arizona, New Mexico July 4, 1912–July 3, 1959 47
    (564 months)

    49 Alaska July 4, 1959–July 3, 1960 1
    (12 months)

    50 Hawaii July 4, 1960–Present 46

    The 48 star version was used the longest for 47 years, however the 50 star version will over take that within the next year or so.

    Poor old thirteen is a much maligned number. Shunned by the superstitious, feared by the triskaidekaphobic and rued as the beginning of the pimple ridden teenage years. I'd like to change all that with a quiz written especially for number thirteen.
