Wyoming was admitted as the 44th state on 10 July 1890. When a new state was admitted, the new US flag containing the star for that state did not become official until the following 4th of July. Since Wyoming was admitted 6 days too late, the 44-star flag did not become official until 4 July 1891, and remained the official US flag for five years until the official adoption of the flag bearing the 45th star for Utah.
