Historical Notes

42 stars was never an official flag star count. The 42-star flag was to become official on Juy 4, 1890 and flag makers had already begun producing them. But Idaho obtained statehood on July 3, 1890, taking the star count to 43, just one day before July 4, 1890. For this reason 42 star flags are particularly of interest to collectors.
