List of colonial governors of North Carolina
This is a list of the colonial governors of the Province of North Carolina and preceding British colonies in the same region.
Governors of Albemarle Sound, 1664-1689
Governors of Carolina, 1689-1710
In 1689-91, a system developed in which the Proprietors appointed one governor of the entire Province, who was based in Charleston. This official governed the northern section of the colony through a Deputy, who was in many ways autonomous. In the early years, the deputy governor was known as the governor of "Ye Lands North and East of Cape Feare." Eventually, this system gave way to the creation of two separate governments.
