List of mayors of Asheville, North Carolina

This is a list of mayors from Asheville, North Carolina. This position was originally called the chairman of the Board of Commissioners but changed to mayor in 1857.[1][2] Asheville historian Foster Sondley wrote that no reports of elected officials were kept until 1845.[3]

Mayors were traditionally elected in May; however, the term year is typically the year elected rather than the range from June to May. In the early years, mayors were elected for one-year terms. Later, terms were expanded to two years and, then, to four years. In 1915, the Board of Aldermen was changed to the Board of Commissioners.[2]
