List of mayors of Plymouth
This is a list of some notable Mayors and all the later Lord Mayors of the city of Plymouth in the United Kingdom.
Plymouth had elected a mayor annually since 1439. The city was awarded the dignity of a Lord Mayoralty by letters patent dated 6 May 1935.[1] The dignity was granted as part of the silver jubilee celebrations of George V.[2] When the city became a non-metropolitan borough in 1974 the honour was confirmed by letters patent dated 1 April 1974.[3]
