<P> This is a list of mayors of Atlanta in the state of Georgia in the United States . The term of office was one year until Cicero C. Hammock's second term (1875--77), when a new city charter changed it to two years . The term was changed to four years in 1929, giving Ragsdale the modern stay in office . Though a political party is listed where known, the mayoral election is officially non-partisan, so the candidate did not represent their party when elected . In recent history, the viable candidates in the race have primarily been Democrats . </P> <P> See the mayors of Atlanta category for an alphabetical list . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> #</Th> <Th> Mayor </Th> <Th> Term start </Th> <Th> Term end </Th> <Th> Terms </Th> <Th> </Th> <Th> Party </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 01! 1 </Td> <Td> Moses Formwalt </Td> <Td> 1848 </Td> <Td> 1849 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Rowdy </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 01! 2 </Td> <Td> Benjamin Bomar </Td> <Td> 1849 </Td> <Td> 1850 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Rowdy </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 01! 3 </Td> <Td> Willis Buell </Td> <Td> 1850 </Td> <Td> 1851 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Rowdy </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 01! 4 </Td> <Td> Jonathan Norcross </Td> <Td> 1851 </Td> <Td> 1852 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Moral </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 01! 5 </Td> <Td> Thomas Gibbs </Td> <Td> 1852 </Td> <Td> 1853 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Moral </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 01! 6 </Td> <Td> John Mims </Td> <Td> 1853 </Td> <Td> 1853 </Td> <Td>. 5! ​ ⁄ </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> None </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 01! 7 </Td> <Td> William Markham </Td> <Td> 1853 </Td> <Td> 1854 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> None </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 01! 8 </Td> <Td> William Butt </Td> <Td> 1854 </Td> <Td> 1855 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> None </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 01! 9 </Td> <Td> Allison Nelson </Td> <Td> 1855 </Td> <Td> 1855 </Td> <Td>. 5! ​ ⁄ </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Democratic </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 01! 10 </Td> <Td> William Ezzard (1st term) </Td> <Td> 1856 </Td> <Td> 1858 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Democratic </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 01! 11 </Td> <Td> Luther Glenn </Td> <Td> 1858 </Td> <Td> 1860 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Democratic </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 01! 12 </Td> <Td> William Ezzard (2nd term) </Td> <Td> 1860 </Td> <Td> 1861 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Democratic </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 01! 13 </Td> <Td> Jared Whitaker </Td> <Td> 1861 </Td> <Td> 1861 </Td> <Td>. 5! ​ ⁄ </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Democratic (Southern) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 01! 14 </Td> <Td> James Calhoun </Td> <Td> 1862 </Td> <Td> 1866 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Democratic (Southern) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 01! 15 </Td> <Td> James E.
