This is a
list of mayors of Atlanta in the state of
Georgia in the
United States. The
term of office was one year until Cicero C. Hammock's second term (1875-1877), when a new
city charter changed it to two years. The term was changed to four years in 1929, giving Ragsdale the modern stay in office. Though a
political party is listed where known, the mayoral election is officially non-partisan, so the candidate did not
represent their party when elected. In recent history, the viable candidates in the race have been primarily Democrats.
