Oklahoma Territory was formally organized on 2 May 1890. Prior to achieving statehood in 1907, Oklahoma had seven governors. Additionally, two men, Robert Martin and William C. Grimes, in their capacity as Secretary of the Oklahoma Territory, served as Acting-Governor when the presidentially appointed governorship was vacant.

On 16 Nov 1907, the Oklahoma and Indian territories joined to form the U.S. state of Oklahoma. Since that time, Oklahoma has had 28 governors, with Governor Henry Bellmon having held the position with two non-consecutive terms. Mary Fallin is the only woman to have held the Oklahoma governorship.
