List of mayors of Annapolis, Maryland

The city of Annapolis was incorporated in 1708 by royal charter of Queen Anne to become capital of the Province of Maryland. Thus the city became the only American city ever entitled to use the title of "lord mayor", which was officially used until the conclusion of the American Revolution. ^[2]
