Administrative history
The first civil Governor of Acadia (Nova Scotia) was commissioned in June 1719. From 1719 to 1786 Nova Scotia had both a Governor and a Lieutenant Governor, who served as deputy or acting Governor in the absence or indisposition of the Governor. In April 1786 a Governor General was appointed for all of British North America and the provincial Governors were reduced to the rank of Lieutenant Governor, which they continued to hold after Confederation in 1867.
