U.S. Flag with 30 Stars - Historical 1846-1847 Design #3718647 (License: Personal Use)

The flag features 30 white five-pointed stars arranged in six rows of five on a blue canton, representing the 30 states following Iowa’s admission on December 28, 1846. Thirteen alternating red and white stripes symbolize the original colonies. This version was official until Wisconsin joined in 1848, prompting the addition of a 31st star.

Used in educational, historical, and governmental contexts to illustrate U.S. territorial growth; common on museum sites, history blogs, and curriculum resources about mid-19th-century America.
