Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Diplomatic presence of the United States of America in Oman started in 1880 when the U.S. set up its consulate in Muscat. The consulate operated in Oman through 1915. U.S. interests in Oman, thereafter, were handled by U.S. diplomats resident in neighboring countries. In 1972, the U.S. ambassador in Kuwait William Stoltzfus was accredited as the first U.S. ambassador to Oman, and the U.S. embassy, headed by a resident charg d'affaires, was opened on July 4, 1972.
