The office of state treasurer has existed since 1715 ; at that time, the treasurer was appointed by the lower house of the legislature. In 1740 , the treasurer's office was divided into two districts, and in 1779 , into four. In 1784 , the North Carolina General Assembly brought the treasurers under one single office, appointed jointly by both houses of the legislature.
Under the North Carolina Constitution Of 1868 , the treasurer became a position elected by popular vote, rather than appointed.
The North Carolina State Treasurer is an ex officio member of the North Carolina State Board Of Education .
