Mayor of Erie, Pennsylvania


This is a list of the people who have served as mayor of the city of Erie, Erie County, in northwestern Pennsylvania.

Erie's city government consists of a mayor and a city council. The mayor's office includes an elected city treasurer and city controller. The mayor also served as the President of the Select Council for the first nine years of Erie's incorporation.

A mayor was limited to only one term of two years until 1890, when it was then lengthened to three years during the second term of Charles S. Clarke. After 1890, mayors were an unlimited number of terms. The most notable example of the unlimited number of terms was Mayor Louis J. Tullio who was in office for eight consecutive terms from 1966 to 1989.

From 1805 until 1850, the Borough of Erie was headed by a burgess. The title of mayor has been used since the City of Erie was incorporated on April 14, 1851.
