The post was created in 1985 when South Georgia and the South SandwichIslands was split from the Falkland Islands Dependencies to create a new overseas territory.

The post was to be held by whoever was the current Governor of the Falkland Islands , as that is the nearest inhabited overseas territory to SGSSI, and the presence of the Royal Navy in the South Atlantic allows the Commissioner to be transported to the territory relatively quickly if necessary.
