The Miss Teen USA competition started in 1959 as a mail-in photo contest by Teen magazine. A few years later, it began to be observed as a live stage agent nut was held in an irregular fashion. It was only since 1983 that the event began to take place annually under the direct management of the Miss Universe Organization. Beginning with the 2021 competition, it has been organized as a licensed pageant. In the very first Miss Teen USA competition held in 1959, 17 years old Peggy Collins from Louisiana was crowned the winner. Susan McDannold is the only participant who has been presented with the winner title twice. In this article, the complete Miss Teen USA Winner List (1959-2023) has been provided.
