History
The first colonial administration on the Islands was the
Dutch.
England annexed the Islands in
1672. An Administrator was appointed to the Islands from
1887, and replaced by a
Governor in
1971 when the Islands were created a distinct territory.
Prior to this date, the local Council would elect one of their members to be President (see
List of Presidents of the British Virgin Islands).
Up until 1971 the Administrators were answerable to the
Governors of the Leeward Islands, of which the British Virgin Islands formed a part.
