In what year was the current 50-star U.S. flag adopted?

The current 50-star U.S. flag was adopted on July 4, 1960, not 1959, which refers to the year Hawaii was admitted as the 50th state. The design of the flag featuring 50 stars was officially created following that admission, making 1960 the pivotal year for its adoption. This flag represents the full complement of states in the union at that time. The choice of 1959 may have seemed logical due to Hawaii's admission, but the actual flag was not updated until the following year. Other options correspond to years that are not related to the adoption of the current flag's design.
