This is a
list of the Governors of the U.S. state of New York. The governor is the highest executive officer of the state. He was originally elected in April for a term of three years, beginning on
July 1. The New York State Constitutional Convention of 1821 amended the state constitution, reducing the term of office to two years, moving the election to November, and moving the beginning and the end of the term to coincide with the calendar year. Until today the term ends on
December 31, the next term begins on January 1. Beginning in 1877, the term in office was extended again to three years, in
1895 reduced to two years, and from
1938 on it was extended to the current four years.
The current Governor, the 58th, is Eliot Spitzer, who took office on
New Year's Day,
2007.
Since
1875, the home of the Governor has been the New York State Executive Mansion in
Albany, New York.
