The old story that Betsy Ross made the first flag from a description given to her by George Washington is probably a myth. There is no documentary evidence to support it.
The most likely designer of the flag was Francis Hopkinson, a member of Congress from New Jersey, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and the author of the flag design resolution submitted to Congress on June 14, 1777 (which is why June 14 is celebrated in America as "Flag Day").
Hope this helps

Most people will probably say Betsy Ross, However, history reveals that the Star Spangled Banner, was the most famous flag, that was flying over a fort in the war of 1812, when Francis Scott Key, wrote the national anthem. I believe, it was made by more that 20 people...
