U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced the recognition on January 17 after talks with the new Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud in Washington, D.C.
Washington has previously regarded Somalia as having no effective central government since 1991.
But a new Somali administration took office last year, ending eight years of transitional rule by a corruption-riddled government.
In 1993, Somali militants shot down two Black Hawk helicopters.
Eighteen Americans died, and 80 were wounded.
