The office of county governor is a government agency of the Kingdom of Norway; the title was Amtmann (before 1919), then Fylkesmann (from 1919 to 2020), and then Statsforvaltaren (since 2021).
In 1704 (a mere 4 years later), the three regions of Romsdal, Sunnmøre and Nordmøre were again merged into one county.
This is done first by the county governor performing administrative tasks on behalf of the ministries.
On 1 January 1936, the title was changed to Fylkesmann i Møre og Romsdal.
On 1 January 2021, the title was again changed to the gender-neutral Statsforvaltaren i Møre og Romsdal.
