However, US recognition of Hawaii's government was suspended following the 1843

Paulet Affair, after which the United Kingdom and France announced their recognition of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

The first

United States Minister to Hawaii (diplomatic rank roughly equivalent to a modern Ambassador) was David L. Gregg, who became minister to Hawaii in 1853.[1] A commercial agent (called Consul starting in 1844) had served in the islands since 1820.[2]

From November 1874 to February 1875, King Kalākaua made a state visit to the United States. This was the first time that any foreign head of state or head of government had visited the United States.[3][4] Kalākaua visited the United States again in 1881 as part of his world tour.[5]
