Washington Montgomery Bartlett (February 29, 1824 – September 12, 1887) was Mayor of San Francisco, California from 1883–1887 and was California's only Jewish governor.
Bartlett was born in Savannah, Georgia in 1824. He was a life-long bachelor and a printer by trade, and was not particularly religious. During his lifetime Bartlett was a San Francisco newspaper publisher, San Francisco Country Clerk, lawyer, state senator, mayor, and finally a governor.
His term for governor started and ended in 1887 when he died in office of natural causes only nine months in to his term. He is buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, California.
His inaugural address after being elected as governor was presented on January 8, 1887; a copy of the address can be found here.
