The United States has maintained diplomatic relations with Mexico since 1823, when Andrew Jackson was appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to that country. Jackson declined the appointment, however, and Joel R. Poinsett became the first U.S. envoy to Mexico in 1825. The rank of the U.S. chief of mission to Mexico was raised from Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary in 1898. Andrew Jackson (March 15, 1767 – June 8, 1845) was the seventh President of the United States (1829-1837), first governor of Florida (1821), general of the Battle of New Orleans (1815), a co-founder of the Democratic Party, and the eponym of the era of Jacksonian democracy. ...

Normal diplomatic relations between the United States and Mexico have been interrupted on four occasions:

• From December 28, 1836, to July 7, 1839 (following the secession of Texas)
• From March 28, 1845 to October 2, 1848 (during the Mexican-American War)
• From June 21, 1858 to April 6, 1859 (during the War of the Reform)
• From March 18, 1913 to March 3, 1917 (during the Mexican Revolution; the U.S. embassy was closed on April 22, 1914 following the U.S. occupation of Veracruz). Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson was recalled after being implicated in a plot (La decena tragica) to overthrow Mexican President Francisco I. Madero. Rather than immediately formally appoint a new ambassador, Woodrow Wilson dispatched ex-Minnesota Governor John Lind as his personal envoy to handle Mexican diplomatic affairs.

In addition, the U.S. legation in Mexico was headed by an interim Chargé d'Affaires from April 1864 to August 1867, during the final years of the French intervention in Mexico.
