History of the Office of
Wyoming’s State Banking Commissioner
The office of territorial bank
examiner was created on March 9, 1888 by the Tenth Territorial Legislature
which convened in Cheyenne, Wyoming on January 10, 1888.
The territorial bank examiner was to hold office for two years and
until his successor was appointed. Herman
Glafcke was the only territorial bank examiner appointed during the
territorial period; he was appointed by Governor Thomas Moonlight on
December 12, 1888 and did not serve out his term.
Wyoming’s
first State Legislature, which convened in Cheyenne on November 12, 1890,
created the position of state examiner on January 10, 1891.
This position had the authority to examine banks and assumed the
duties of the territorial bank examiner which included examining public
offices of the state and counties. Joel Ware Foster, the first state examiner took office on
March 26, 1891.
The
office of the state examiner became a part of the Department of Audit
effective July 1, 1989 after the 1989 Legislature authorized the Wyoming
Government Reorganization Act of 1989.
The
1991 Legislature authorized the creation of the state banking board and the
position of state banking commissioner.
The state banking commissioner assumed the bank regulation
responsibilities of the state examiner.
