This is a list of Ambassadors of the United States to Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta). Until 1960 Upper Volta was a French possession as a part of French West Africa. In 1958 Upper Volta became an autonomous republic in the French Community ''(Communauté française)'', and achieved independence as the Republic of Upper Volta on August 5, 1960. The United States recognized Upper Volta immediately and assigned its first envoy on the nation's independence day, August 5. The envoy, Donald R. Norland, had presented his credentials as ''Chargé d'Affaires ad interim'' on the previous day, August 4, to take effect on the day of independence. Norland was also the ''Chargé d'Affaires a.i.'' to the newly independent nations: Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire), Dahomey (Benin) and Niger while resident in Abidjan. The first ranking ambassador, R. Borden Reams, was appointed October 17, 1960. He was also the ambassador to the aforementioned countries while resident in Abidjan. On December 31, 1960, an embassy was established in Ouagadougou with a resident ''Chargé d'affaires''. On May 29, 1961 the first ambassador solely accredited to Upper Volta was appointed. On August 4, 1984, the nation changed its name to Burkina Faso. The United States Embassy in Burkina Faso is located in Ouagadougou. ==Ambassadors== *R.
