Home > List of Manitoba lieutenant-governors


This is a historical list of the lieutenant governors of Manitoba, a province of Canada. The earlier lieutenant governors also had juridiction outside of Manitoba, in the adjacent territories. From 1870 to 1876 they were titled Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba and the North-West Territories, and from 1876 to 1905 Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba and Keewatin District . After 1874 the officer's duties within Manitoba were mainly ceremonial, because the province had responsible government and a premier, but he was actual head of government of the North-West Territories and Keewatin District.
