This is a list of Governors of New Hampshire, in the United States. The Governor of New Hampshire has a term of two years, and can seek re-election. It is worth noting, however that the original title was "President of New Hampshire." The name of the office was changed to Governor of New Hampshire (perhaps because the position of President of the United States had been created and other states used the title of Governor) during the term of Josiah Bartlett, though the office itself remained the same.
