The long list of Governors begins when Alaska was named the District of Alaska on 17 May 1884. Seven different Governors held that position by appointment of the President. They were
John Henry Kinkead
Alfred Swineford
Lyman Knapp
James Sheakley
John Green Brady
Wilford Hoggatt and
Walter Clark.
Alaska was given official status as a US Territory in 1912 and was served by 10 appointed governors.
As a US State Alaska has had 12 different Governors.
When Alaska was first purchased governance was under the direction of the United States Army with Major General General Jefferson C. Davis as Commander, but the prestige of this posting rapidly decreased until in 1874 the Department of Alaska was headed by an Army Captain. The Treasury Department took charge without doing any good at the job for two years and then passed control to the US Navy for eight different Commanders in five years. Alaska has a long history of poor, inept or even corrupt or indifferent leadership at the Executive level since its earliest years.
