North Dakota Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The North Dakota Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor, was an elected official who headed the North Dakota Department of Agriculture and Labor. The office was established with the state's constitution in 1889, and was split into two separate offices; the North Dakota Commissioner of Labor and the North Dakota Commissioner of Agriculture in 1966, when the two departments also split due to a constitutional change that was voted on in 1964.^[1]

[edit] History

The office was first held by Henry T. Helgesen, and the longest tenure in the office was that of Math Dahl, who held the office for 25 years. His son, Arne Dahl, was the last to hold the office before it was eliminated in 1966. He then went on to become the first North Dakota Commissioner of Agriculture.
