  List of Governors of Massachusetts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is the executive magistrate of the United States Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The Governor of Massachusetts is the chief executive of the Commonwealth, and is supported by a number of subordinate officers.
The title of "His Excellency" is a throwback to the executives of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Province of New England, and Royal Colony of Massachusetts, all of whom, as royal appointees, were afforded this title.
