Conrad Meyer Zulick (June 3, 1839 – March 1, 1926) was an American jurist and Democratic party activist who became the seventh Governor of Arizona Territory. During his term the Indian Wars ended and the territorial capital was moved from Prescott to Phoenix. He is also known for having been a prisoner in Mexico at the time of his appointment.
Zulick was born June 3, 1839, in Easton, Pennsylvania, to Anthony and Jane Morton (Cummings) Zulick. His father was an immigrant from Frankfurt, Germany, while his mother was a Pennsylvania native. Zulick's family lived at a private school called Minerva Hall where, supplemented by private tutors, he received his early education. He was trained as an attorney and in June 1860 was admitted to the New Jersey bar. Zulick also campaigned for Stephen A. Douglas in the 1860 presidential election.
When the American Civil War began, Zulick became adjutant for the Second Division of Colored Volunteers. He rose to unit command before being discharged as a colonel for a service-incurred disability. Following discharge, he moved to Newark, New Jersey and became the first Surrogate of Essex County from the Democratic Party. Zulick married Caroline L. Nightingale and the couple had one daughter, Lillian Carlotta. Zulick's grandson was Naval aviator DeWitt C. Ramsey.
