Present day Mexico was a colony of Spain known as Nueva España (literally New Spain). After independence was declared on September 16 1810, Mexico considered itself an independent nation. The formal recognition from Spain came with the Treaty of Córdoba on September 27 1821.

However, the common name "Mexico" was used several years after the Declaration of Independence. Historically Mexico was referred to, both official and popularly, as Northern America, Mexican America, Mexican Republic and finally, the official name was selected: Estados Unidos Mexicanos (United Mexican States).
