Spain relinquished control of Florida after the Adams-Onís Treaty was signed in 1819. The treaty, negotiated by U.S. Secretary of State John Quincy Adams and Spanish Minister Luis de Onís, resulted in Spain ceding Florida to the United States. In return, the U.S. agreed to assume responsibility for certain claims against Spain and to recognize Spanish sovereignty over Texas. This marked a significant expansion of U.S. territory.
The Adams-Onís Treaty, signed in 1819 between the United States and Spain, resulted in the U.S. acquiring Florida and defining the boundary between the U.S. and New Spain (now Mexico). It settled territorial disputes and reinforced U.S. claims in the region, while Spain relinquished its claims to the Oregon Territory. Additionally, the treaty helped to ease tensions between the two nations and facilitated westward expansion for the United States.

The treaty was ratified in 1821, formally transferring control of Florida to the United States.
Florida was regained from the British by Spain in 1783 as part of the Treaty of Paris, which concluded the American Revolutionary War.
