Grand Union Flag

The Continental Union Flag (often referred to as the first American flag, Cambridge Flag, and Grand Union Flag) was the flag of the United Colonies from 1775 to 1776, and the de facto flag of the United States until 1777, when the 13 star flag was adopted by the Continental Congress.

The Continental Union Flag was so called because it combined the British Union flag (denoting the kingdoms of England and Scotland) with thirteen stripes (representing the United Colonies). The canton consists of the British Union flag, while the field is thirteen horizontal stripes, alternating red and white.

Our authentic historical reproductions of flags from American history - including the Grand Union Flag - are popular with collectors or as part of patriotic displays.  The historical flags are manufactured with the same high quality outdoor construction as our state and international flags.   All historical flags are 3x5' or as marked.  Larger historical flag sizes and designs are available upon request as a custom flag.
