The term governor was also applied to the office of Oregon's chief executive during the provisional and U.S. territorial governments. Governors of the State of Oregon (1859-Present) Governors of the Provisional Government of the Oregon Territory (1843-1848) Meetings at Champoeg led up to the first constitution of Oregon, and a petition for U.S. territorial status. The resulting acts also created this body as a provisional government for the territory. The first executives of this government were a three-person, elected committee known as the Executive Committee. In 1845, elections for a chief executive were held. Governors of the U.S. Oregon Territory (1848-1859) Oregon became a U.S. Territory in 1848. Like most other U.S. territorial governments, Oregon's territorial governor was appointed by the President Of The United States . As transportation and communications were not as reliable and fast as today's methods, there were times when a departing governor left office, but a new governor could not yet take over. This resulted in several local individuals acting as territorial governor until the new executive was appointed and arrived to take office. |
