Iowa Territory was formed from Wisconsin Territory on 4 Jul 1838. It had three governors appointed by the President of the United States. The first governor did not arrive for six weeks after the territory had been created; in the interim, territorial secretary William B. Conway acted as governor. The southeast portion of Iowa Territory was admitted to the Union as the State of Iowa on 28 Dec 1846. Since that time, Iowa has had 43 state governors. Two governors (Kirkwod and Branstead) each held the position twice in non-consecutive terms
