Moses W. Formwalt (1820 - May,1852) was the first mayor of the city of Atlanta then in DeKalb County, Georgia. Atlanta was chartered in December 1847 (the name had been changed from Marthasville in December 1845) and the first election of officers took place on January 29, 1848. Formwalt drew a larger share of the 215 votes than Jonathan Norcross and was elected mayor. First meeting of the city council followed on February 2 at the Jonas Smith grocery (site of the Howard Johnson hotel near Five Points). Things proceded pretty normally throughout his one year term: roads were cut, wells dug, law and order somewhat maintained (a jail was built) and on January 17, 1849 Dr. Benjamin F.
