The 44 star flag was the official flag of the United States from 1891 - 1896, this is a beautiful example of a late 19th century piece of American History. This flag commemorates the addition of Wyoming to the Union on July 10, 1890 as the 44th state of the Union. The 44 star flag became the official U.S. flag on July 4, 1891 and flew until July 4, 1896, where upon Utah entered the Union as the Nation’s 45th state. The 44 star flag spans a period of five years, the period was post Centennial and pre-Spanish American War. Although flags were made for events such as the Columbian Exposition in 1892, generally 44 star flags are less common than their later 45 star counterparts.
