List of colonial governors of Virginia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of colonial governors of Virginia.

Note: Some of those who held the lead role as governors never visited the New World and governed through deputies resident in the colony. Others, such as Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr, held the lead role for many years, but were only in Virginia a short portion of that time, delegating to others most of the time. Probably for those reasons, in many historical documents and references, the deputies and lieutenant governors who had the primary responsibility in Virginia are also often titled simply "governor."

From 1606 until 1624, Proprietary Governors oversaw the operation of the Virginia Colony.
