List of Premiers of New England (Commonwealth of America)

The Premier of New England is the head of government of the American state of New England. The Premier is appointed by the Governor and is always a serving member of the state's parliament, being the leader of the party who commands a parliamentary majority. The office of Premier dates from the 1850s, when a demand for greater self-government allowed the colony to have greater autonomy in its own affairs and a colonial assembly. Not until the late 1890s did a formal two-party structure develop.
