History

Uruguay declared its independence in 1825 and became fully independent in 1828 after a conflict with Brazil and the dissolution of its federation with Argentina.[1] the United States had recognized the independence of Uruguay on January 25, 1836, with the issuance of an exequatur to John Darby as Consul General in New York. The United States established diplomatic relations with Uruguay on October 2, 1867, when American Minister Resident Alexander Asboth presented his credentials to the Government of Uruguay. Asboth was also accredited to Argentina and was resident in Buenos Aires at the time.[2]

The American Legation in Montevideo was officially opened on July 6, 1870, under Minister Resident John L. Stevens.[2][3] The diplomatic mission was elevated from an American Legation to the status of an Embassy on January 11, 1941. William Dawson was appointed as the first U.S. Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Uruguay and presented his credentials to the Uruguayan government on July 12, 1941.[2]
