James B. Hughes who started the Minnesota Chronical was the first Territorial Governor for Minnesota. He was sent by President Zachary Taylor as a Whig agent and Territorial Governor, Ramsey soon followed Hughes as Hughes relocated to Hudson, Wisconsin.


Just a note: There are probably some glaring errors in the Lieutenant Governor side of the table here. I just quickly added it in. Hopefully someone will be able to go through and clear that up (as well as List of Lieutenant Governors of Minnesota) &madsh;Mulad 01:30, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)


I was thinking that the political color bar should not include the LT Governors, because prior to 1974 they were elected seperate and the lt gov may not have been the same party as the gov Smith03 02:21, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kentucky and Delaware

I just happened to look at List of Governors of Kentucky and List of Governors of Delaware. These both achieved Featured List status. I think this one is very close, but I see that the "notes" columns are empty; perhaps we should work on putting relevant information there. Also, I wonder if the photos will be a detriment.--Appraiser 12:56, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

  • I agree. I added the "notes" column to standardize this list with the other featured governors lists. This should be one of the last tasks to complete before nominating for featured status. List of Governors of California and List of Governors of Alabama have also been featured. The California list also contains pictures of nearly every governor, so we might be able to use the current pictures in this list if we can find some more. Otherwise, we can pick out five or six notable governors (Pillsbury, Ramsey, Pawlenty, etc) like the other featured lists. -Gopherbone 13:26, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
