Governor-in-chief
Governor-in-chief was a title used in the
Governor of Jamaica
until the mid-20th century.
History
The office could be systematically vested in and cumulated with a governorship, as it was in the governors of
Lagos territory
(later a colony; in present Nigeria).
On the British South Caribbean Islands, the title was vested in the Governor of Grenada (1762–1802; 1779–1784 vacant), the other components being Dominica, St. Vincent, the Grenadines and Tobago; later (1833 – 1 January 1960) all part of the even larger Windward Islands but without a title above Governor.
