That depends. The first governor of Puerto Rico during the Spanish occupation was Juan Ponce de Leon, but the first Puerto Rican to have been chosen by the King was Juan Ponce de Leon II. During the United States Military government it was Nelson A. Miles, but the one after the Foraker Act was Charles Herbert Allen. Now the first Puerto Rican governor under the U. S. was Jesus T. Pi~ero, while the first governor elected, who was also Puerto Rican, was Luis Mu~oz Marin.
