The head of government of Norway was called first minister (Norwegian: førstestatsråd) between 1814 and 1873, while it was in personal union with Sweden.
In 1893, 12 years prior to the dissolution of the union, it was changed to prime minister (statsminister).
Nowadays, the term is used to describe the leaders of the devolved governments of Scotland,[1] Wales and Northern Ireland.
A similar term exists in countries with some historic German influence, e.g. Latvia, the Netherlands etc.
George Price held the office of First Minister of British Honduras from 1961 until 1964, when it became self-governing and the title was changed to Premier.
