The first British governor of the region was William Hood Treacher in 1881. With the occupation of the region in 1941 and the capture and deportation of Governor Smith, North Borneo fell under Japanese administration for nearly four years.

In 1963, North Borneo became Sabah , a federal state of the newly founded Malaysia and was administered by the first " Yang di-Pertuan Negara " on September 16 .
