[edit] Notes

During the Dutch colonial period from 1625 to 1664, New Amsterdam was governed by a Director-General.

For the year prior to the establishment of the office of Mayor of New York in 1665, New York was run by Richard Nicolls, who was the British Military Governor of the Province of New York.

Prior to 1680, Mayors served one year terms. As of 1680, they served two year terms. Exceptions are noted thus (*).
