The British colony of Grahamland was founded in 1820, and had a Governor appointed by the British Monarch until its dissolution in 1980.
Council Governors (1820-1968)[]
Until 1968, the Governor of Grahamland was the absolute authority in the colony, and the government consisted of a 'Governing Council' selected by the Governor himself.

Parliamentary Governors (1968-1980)[]
In 1968, in preparation for a predicted transition to independence, the Grahamlandic Parliament was established. The Parliament was led by a Prime Minister, who took on most of the Governor's former responsibilities. The Governor remained as Grahamland's Head of State; and appointed many Members of Parliament (the rest were elected).
