Governors of the Territory of Idaho

Idaho Territory was created from Dakota Territory, Nebraska Territory, and Washington Territory on March 4, 1863.[4]

There were sixteen territorial governors appointed by the president of the United States from the territory's organization in 1863 until the formation of the state of Idaho in 1890. Due to the long distance from Washington, D.C. to Boise, there was often a lengthy gap between a governor being appointed and his arrival in the territory; four resigned before even arriving.

Governors of the State of Idaho
Office of the Idaho Governor

Idaho was admitted to the Union on July 3, 1890. The terms for governor and lieutenant governor are 4 years, commencing on the first Monday in the January following the election.[72] Prior to 1946, the offices were elected to terms of two years.[73] If the office of governor is vacant or the governor is out of state or unable to discharge his duties, the lieutenant governor acts as governor until such time as the disability is removed.[74] If both the offices of governor and lieutenant governor are vacant or both those officers are unable to fulfill their duties, the President pro tempore of the Idaho Senate is next in line, and then the Speaker of the Idaho House of Representatives.[75] After the change to four-year terms, self-succession (re-election) was not initially allowed; newly elected Governor Robert E. Smylie, formerly the state's attorney general, successfully lobbied the 1955 legislature to propose an amendment to the state constitution to allow gubernatorial re-election, which was approved by voters in the 1956 general election.[76][77] There is no limit to the number of terms a governor may serve.[78]

  8. Marston was nominated on May 27, 1870,[21] and confirmed on June 7.[22] However, he resigned on December 3,[23] due to the delay, through it was rumored that he was unhappy with the salary.[24][25]
  9. Conner was nominated on December 16, 1870,[26] and confirmed by the Senate on January 12, 1871.[27] However, he declined the appointment;[24] it is unknown when, though Limbaugh writes that he "declined the offer as soon as it was made."[28] The date given for the end of his term is when his successor was confirmed.
  10. Bowen was nominated on April 18, 1871,[29] in place of Ebenezer Dumont, who was nominated on March 17[30] but died on April 16, before the Senate could confirm him. The Senate Executive Journal has no record of if or when the Senate confirmed Bowen, but some sources say it was on April 19.[31] He took office on July 7.[24]
  11. Bowen resigned September 30.[32] Upon arriving in Idaho, Bowen reportedly did not like the look of the landscape, so he decided to stay only a few weeks.[33]
  12. Bennett was nominated on December 6, 1871,[35] and confirmed by the Senate on December 14.[36] However, sources say he took office on October 24,[31][34] implying a recess appointment.

  16. Thomas W. Bennett was nominated on July 17, 1876.[44] However, Bennett declined, so Brayman was nominated on July 18,[45] confirmed by the Senate on July 24.[46] and he took office on August 1.[43]
