Present-day Saint Vincent was ceded to Great Britain in 1763 and was briefly under French rule from 1779 until 1796. Following a return to British rule, Saint Vincent passed through a variety of stages as a colony and Commonwealth state. After a 1979 referendum it eventually became the last of the Windward Islands to achieve independence.
Today the United States and Saint Vincent have solid bilateral relations. Both countries have signed a series of treaties combating the cultivation and shipment of narcotics.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines achieved full independence on October 27, 1979. The United States had previously informally recognized St. Vincent as a federated state in the British Commonwealth but did not formally recognize its independence until the appointment of an American Ambassador to Saint Vincent on November 23, 1981.
The United States maintains no official presence in St. Vincent. The Ambassador and Embassy officers are resident in Barbados and frequently travel to St. Vincent.
Diplomatic relations were established on December 8, 1981, when St. Vincent and the Grenadines Ambassador Hudson Kemul Tannis presented his credentials.
