List of Wyoming governors from first to last

Wyoming joined the Union on July 10, 1890, becoming the 44th state of the United States. This event marked a significant milestone in the country’s expansion westward during the latter part of the 19th century. Known for its vast plains, mountainous landscapes, and rich history, Wyoming was admitted to the Union after a period of territorial status, during which it was organized and governed under the territorial system of the United States. Its admission to the Union was part of a larger trend of admitting western territories as states, which contributed to the shaping of the United States as it is known today.

Francis Emroy Warren became the first governor of the state of Wyoming on October 11, 1890.
