Who made the first version of the current national flag?

The first version of the current national flag of the United States was created by Betsy Ross in 1776, according to popular legend. She is said to have been commissioned by George Washington to design a flag featuring 13 stripes and 13 stars representing the original colonies. However, historical evidence supporting this claim is limited, and the true origins of the flag's design involve contributions from various individuals and evolving designs over time. The current 50-star version was adopted in 1960.
