Categories: Connecticut, State Government | Connecticut, Politicians | US State Governors

At independence Connecticut retained and was governed under it's Colonial Charter. This made Jonathan Trumbull the last colonial governor and the first governor of the state. Official lists of state governors number him as the 16th governor, counting the 15 individuals who served from 1639-1776. Since independence those serving non-consecutive terms are renumbered for each term and those serving as acting governors are numbered.
