History of the Lieutenant Governor in Nova Scotia

Past Lieutenant Governors
Until 1786 the vice-regal representative in Nova Scotia normally held the rank of Governor, and only occasionally Lieutenant Governor. Since then, all have been Lieutenant Governors. During periods where no vice-regal representative was in office, an Administrator was in charge.
