History
In December 1777,
Morocco became the first nation to seek diplomatic relations with the
United States and together they maintain the United States'
longest unbroken treaty.
Benjamin Franklin
Benjamin Franklin ( April 17, 1790) was an American polymath who was active as a writer, scientist, inventor, statesman, diplomat, printer, publisher, and political philosopher. Encyclopædia Britannica, Wood, 2021 Among the leading intel ...
established the first overseas mission of the United States in
Paris in 1779. On April 19, 1782,
John Adams was received by the
States-General and the
Dutch Republic as they were the first country, together with Morocco and France, to recognize the United States as an independent government. John Adams then became the first
U.S. ambassador to the Netherlands and the house that he had purchased there, at Fluwelen Burgwal 18 in
The Hague, became the first U.S. embassy anywhere in the world.
In the period following the
American Revolution
The American Revolution was an ideological and political revolution that occurred in British America between 1765 and 1791. The Americans in the Thirteen Colonies formed independent states that defeated the British in the American Revoluti ...

George Washington
George Washington (February 22, 1732, 1799) was an American military officer, statesman, and Founding Father who served as the first president of the United States from 1789 to 1797. Appointed by the Continental Congress as commander of th ...
sent a number of close advisers, including
Thomas Jefferson,
John Adams,
Francis Dana, and
John Jay, to the courts of European potentates in order to garner recognition of U.S. independence, with mixed results. Much of the first fifty years of the
Department of State concerned negotiating with imperial European powers over the territorial integrity of the borders of the United States as known today.
The first overseas consulate of the fledgling United States was founded in 1790 at
Liverpool, Great Britain, by
James Maury Jr., who was appointed by Washington. Maury held the post from 1790 to 1829. Liverpool was at the time Britain's leading port for transatlantic commerce and therefore of great economic importance to the
United States. President George Washington, on November 19, 1792, nominated Benjamin Joy of Newbury Port as the first
U.S. Consul to Kolkata (then Calcutta), India. Joy was not recognized as consul by the British East India Company but was permitted to "reside here as a Commercial Agent subject to the Civil and Criminal Jurisdiction of this Country...". The first overseas property owned, and the longest continuously owned, by the United States is the
American Legation in Tangier, which was a gift of the
Sultan of Morocco in 1821. In general during the nineteenth century, the United States' diplomatic activities were done on a minimal budget. The U.S. owned no property abroad and provided no official residences for its foreign envoys, paid them a minimal salary, and gave them the rank of ministers rather than ambassadors who represented the
great powers—a position which the U.S. only achieved towards the end of the nineteenth century.
In the latter half of the nineteenth century, the State Department was concerned with expanding commercial ties in Asia, establishing
Liberia, foiling
diplomatic recognition of the
Confederate States of America during the
American Civil War, and securing its presence in North America. The Confederacy had diplomatic missions in the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, the
Papal States, Russia, Mexico, and Spain, and consular missions in Ireland, Canada, Cuba, Italy,
Bermuda

The United States' global prominence became evident in the twentieth century, and the State Department was required to invest in a large network of diplomatic missions to manage its bilateral and multilateral relations. The wave of overseas construction began with the creation of the State Department's Foreign Service Buildings Commission in 1926.
