Inscription. When Florida became a U.S. Territory, the American flag had 23 stars. A 27th star was added to the U.S. flag in 1845 after Florida became the the 27th state.

After the Civil War, the nation’s flag contained 36 stars. Old Glory’s number of stars grew uninterrupted with each new state until 1960 when Hawaii became the 50th state, creating the number and arrangement of stars flying today.
