Harlan Tyrell was final Steward of Highgarden due to his elevation to Warden of the South by Aegon I Targaryen.

"We chose instead to serve our Gardener cousins faithfully as stewards; to manage their stronghold of Highgarden and the daily affairs of the Reach."

―Margaery Tyrell

Steward is the title held by a senior member of a lord's household. Unlike the castellan, the master-at-arms, or the captain of the guard, stewardship is not a military position. A steward is charged with organizing servants and managing the day-to-day activities of a lord's estate. In the case of kings or high lords, stewards may be nobles hailing from vassal houses, such as House Tyrell was to the Gardeners as High Stewards of Highgarden.
