Democratic Senator Barack Obama has been elected the first black president of the United States.
"It's been a long time coming, but tonight... change has come to America," the president-elect told a jubilant crowd at a park in Chicago.
His rival John McCain accepted defeat, saying "I deeply admire and commend" Mr Obama. He called on his supporters to lend the next president their goodwill.
The BBC's Justin Webb said the result would have a profound impact on the US.
"On every level America will be changed by this result... [it] will never be the same," he said.
Mr Obama appeared with his family, and his running mate Joe Biden, before a crowd of tens of thousands in Grant Park, Chicago.
"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer," he said.
