This is the flag of the Russian American Company, authorized under Czar Alexander I. This flag was first flown on the North American continent in 1806 at Russia’s Fort Ross in what is now part of Northern California. The flag also flew in Alaska, a Russian possession at the time. The flag flew over Alaska until October 18th, 1867 when all Russian American Company holdings in Alaska were sold to the United States.
