Leaders of Wilmington: Principal Officers of the City of Wilmington, Delaware 1832 - 2007 (Hardcover)

Wilmington, Delaware, in 2007 observes the 175th anniversary of its 1832 incorporation as a city by an act of the Delaware General Assembly. During that century and three quarters, hundreds of citizens of Wilmington have served as mayors, council members or in other city offices. This volume is a chronicle of who they were and when they served, commemorating their public spirit and their work on behalf of their fellow citizens, carrying out the often mundane municipal functions that make a city livable. Officials are listed both chronologically, by their dates of service in various offices, and in an alphabetical directory that notes the dates for each office held.
