The Mayor of Cleveland is the Chief Executive of the City 's government. In 1924, the Mayor-council (strong Mayor) form of government was replaced by a City Manager plan. This was later reversed in 1931. Cleveland elections were Partisan , but were made Nonpartisan in 1977 under the mayoral administration of Ralph J. Perk . The term of office for the mayor and members of Cleveland City Council was traditionally two years, and was extended to four years in 1981. Cleveland has had a total of 57 mayoral administrations (this number includes the city's current mayor, , George B. Senter , and John H. Farley are not listed as well as the newly-elected Frank Jackson. During the 2005 mayoral election, most media sources including '' The Plain Dealer '' and the city's major local news networks ( WKYC , WEWS , WJW , and WOIO ) all mistakenly referred to Jackson as Cleveland's 56th mayor, even though an actual count shows that he is really the 57th. 19TH CENTURY Mayors of Ohio City Prior to its annexation, Ohio City was a separate entity and fierce rival of Cleveland. The city had eleven mayors from 1836 to 1854. The political affiliations of these mayors are currently unknown, though it should be noted that William B. Castle became mayor of Cleveland as a Whig after Ohio City's incorporation. 20TH CENTURY 21ST CENTURY REFERENCES
