The list of the governors of the Colombian Department of Córdoba
The Congress of Colombia approved by Law 9 December 17, 1951 which created the Department of Córdoba and later sanctioned by the then president of Colombia Roberto Urdaneta Arbeláez, but only came into effect six months later.
According to the Colombian Constitution of 1991 the executive power for this region will be vested in a single individual elected by popular vote (starting from 1991, governors were previously appointed by the president of Colombia) and will be called Governor of the Córdoba Department.
