Treaty of Paris was signed on September 3, 1783 and the United States Congress ratified the treaty on January 14, 1784. The last British troops left New York City on November 25, 1783.
FYI...A resolution was presented to the Continental Congress on June 7, 1776 declaring Independence on July 2, 1776. The full Declaration was adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. On July 19, 1776, Congress ordered a copy be handwritten for the delegates to sign. Most of the delegates signed it on August 2, 1776, in geographic order of their colonies from north to south, though some delegates were not present and had to sign later. Two delegates never signed at all. On January 18, 1777, the Continental Congress ordered that the declaration be widely distributed.

The war may have ended in 1783, but our official date of independence was on July 4, 1776. It just took the Brits another seven years to realize we were serious and weren't going to be pushed around. :-)
