In 1787, the the Territory Northwest of the River Ohio was formed from territory ceded by the states of New York, Virginia, and Connecticut. It spanned all or large parts of six eventual U.S. states (Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and the northeastern part of Minnesota). With the formation of Indiana Territory July 4, 1800, the territory was reduced to present-day Ohio, eastern Michigan, and a sliver of southeastern Indiana.

Throughout its fifteen year history, the Northwest Territory, as it was commonly known, had just one territorial governor, Arthur St. Clair. When President Jefferson removed him from office on 22 Nov 1802, Charles Willing Byrd, as Secretary of the Territory, became acting governor for three months until Ohio achieved statehood on 1 Mar 1803. Since that time, Ohio has had 70 governors, with six individuals having held multiple non-consecutive terms.
