How the Union Flag is Made Up, Origin of the Union Jack (British Flag)-- "How the Union Flag is Made Up" has, like many other things, a simple and a more complex (detailed) explanation. We like to keep it simple, straight to the point with no extra details to grab your attention so you can memorize these facts and stories easier. The present design of the Union Flag dates from 1801 following the union of Great Britain and Ireland.
