Notes

  1. [a]
    Mayors are numbered according to uninterrupted periods served by the same person. For example, John Dodson served three consecutive terms and is counted as the sixty-ninth mayor, instead of the sixty-ninth, seventieth, and seventy-first, but Robert Bolling and Thomas G. Peachey are counted twice because their two terms were not consecutive. A vice mayor who temporarily becomes acting mayor in the mayor's absence or incapacity is not counted because the mayor remains in office during such a period.
  2. [b]
    Reflects the mayor's political party at the start of their mayoralty. Changes during their time in office are noted.
  3. [c]
    Resigned from office
  4. [d]
    Died in office
