Abstract:

After the Civil War, Greenville appears to have been governed by a mayor and city council. In 1883 the General Assembly ratified an amendment to the Greenville Town Charter that the town be governed by a mayor and six city councilmen (or aldermen) made up of representatives elected from each ward in town. The mayor was elected from outside the city council and to serve one year. These elections were always politically based and there has always been some contention in the City Council race. Kammerer provides an incomplete list of Mayors from 1869 to 2011.
