It was George W.P. Hunt who became the first Governor of Arizona (the state). For a number of decades, the Arizona Territory had its own Governor, the first of which was John A. Gurley, who was appointed by President Abraham Lincoln. Interestingly, Gurley died before he could reach the state and assume office there, so John Noble Goodwin was appointed to take his place.
