The Blessed Mother's visit to Mexico took place 500 years ago; this was to middle-aged Juan Diego. Her visit to America took place 165 years ago; this was in Champion, WI.

From the time they were first founded and named, the Americas consist of North, Central, and South America. It is more accurate to say that her appearance in WI was her first visit to the United States of America.
