Indiana Territory was formed on July 4, 1800, from the Northwest Territory. Despite remaining a territory for nearly 16 years, it had only two governors appointed by the President of the United States before it became a state. Since statehood in 1816, Indiana has had 49 governors, serving 51 distinct terms; Isaac P. Gray and Henry F. Schricker are the only governors to have served non-consecutive terms. The shortest-serving Indiana governor was Henry Smith Lane, who served two days before resigning to become a U.S. Senator.
