List of Governors of Idaho Territory

This list includes territorial governors appointed by the President of the United States between 1863 and 1889 who actually took office. Because several appointees were declared ineligible and never took office, and also because of the significant travel involved to Idaho Territory at the time, the territory was governed by interim administrations on several occasions.

  • William H. Wallace - 1863–1864
  • Caleb Lyon - 1864–1866
  • David W. Ballard - 1866–1870
  • Thomas M. Bowen - 1871
  • Thomas W. Bennett - 1871–1875
  • David P. Thompson - 1875–1876
  • Mason Brayman - 1876–1878
  • John Baldwin Neil - 1880–1883

  • William M. Bunn - 1884–1885

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, governors and/or territory:

    My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.
    Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)

    I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    I do love this people [the French] with all my heart, and think that with a better religion and a better form of government and their present governors their condition and country would be most enviable.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    A Country is not a mere territory; the particular territory is only its foundation. The Country is the idea which rises upon that foundation; it is the sentiment of love, the sense of fellowship which binds together all the sons of that territory.
    Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
