Encyclopedia > List of mayors of Washington, D.C.

The structure of Washington, D.C. city government has changed several times since the city was officially incorporated on May 3, 1802, leading to several different chief executive offices. From 1802 to 1812, a mayor was appointed by the President. Mayors were then elected by the city council between 1812 and 1820, and popularly elected from 1820 to 1871. (Georgetown and Washington County, although part of the District of Columbia, were separate entities from the city of Washington and were therefore governed separately.)

In 1871, all municipalities within the District of Columbia were abolished in favor of a single District government, whose chief executive was a territorial Governor. This office was abolished in 1874, and replaced with a three-member Board of Commissioners appointed by the President to administered the city. The President of the Board of Commissioners was then the highest executive office in D.C. until the popularly elected mayoralty was restored in 1975 — this time given authority over the entire District of Columbia, which had been annexed by the city of Washington.


Currently, the mayor of Washington, D.C. is popularly elected to a four-year term with no term limits. The mayor can be thought of as analogous to the city mayors of other cities in the United States, but in some manners can also be thought of as analogous to governors of other states.

Mayors of Washington (1802 - 1871)

The persons listed below were Mayors of Washington City, which did not encompass the entire District of Columbia. The boundaries of the old City were (roughly) Rock Creek on the west, Florida Avenue on the north, and the Anacostia River on the east and south. Georgetown City lay to the west of Washington. The remainder of today's District of Columbia constituted the County of Washington, which was governed separately from the City.


The mayor at the time had authority over city services, appointments, and small local tax assessments, but the office generally consisted of requesting appropriations of federal money from Congress to finance the city. The first mayor, Robert Brent, was appointed annually from 1802 until 1812. From 1812 to 1820 they were elected by the city council, then were popularly elected from 1820 to 1869, when the mayoralty again became an annual appointment. Robert Brent (circa 1763–1819) was the first mayor of Washington City, the federal capital of the United States of America. ... --69. ...

Mayors of Georgetown (1790 - 1871)

Georgetown was a town in Maryland until the official incorporation of the District of Columbia in 1802, when it became a municipal entry of the District (part of D.C., but separate from Washington City). From 1802 until 1871, mayors of Georgetown were elected by its citizens to one-year terms, with no term limit. Like Washington and Washington County, Georgetown's local government ceased to exist in 1871 when Congress merged the three entities into the single territorial government of the District of Columbia.

From 1975 to the present day, the District, given home rule, has been administered by a popularly elected mayor and city council. 1975 (MCMLXXV) was a common year starting on Wednesday. ... A mayor (from the Latin māior, meaning larger, greater) is the modern title of the highest ranking municipal officer. ... A city council is the most common style of legislative government in a city or town. ...


Note: Although Washington City had previously had elected mayors, at the time Washington formed only a part of the District of Columbia. Washington did not become coterminous with the entire District until 1878, during which time the Board of Commissioners oversaw city government.


Thus, while Walter Washington was the 22nd mayor of Washington, he was the first mayor of D.C.
