History
The first mayor of Doncaster, in 1493, was a Thomas Pigborne.[1] The first mayor of the Borough of Doncaster under the Municipal Corporations Act 1835 was Sir William Bryan Cooke, 8th baronet of Wheatley.[2] The role was reconstituted on 1 April 1974 to cover the larger Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster. On the 18th of May 2018 history was made when Councillor Majid Khan became the first ethnic minority Mayor of Doncaster.[3]
Since May 2002 there has also been a directly elected mayor of Doncaster and in May 2012, voters decided in a referendum to keep the position.[4]
