When the Bloomington City Council first convened in 1953, all Councilmembers (City's preferred spelling and capitalization ) were elected "at large." That is, each Councilmember was elected to represent the entire city's residents and interests. At that time, the Council comprised 5 members, including the Mayor, who was (and still is) an at-large Councilmember. The City Charter, adopted in 1960, called for an increase in the number of Councilmembers from 5 to 7. A 7-member council was first seated in 1962. In 1976, 4 of the 6 at-large positions were assigned the duty of representing the residents and interests of a specific quadrant of the City (District I to the SE, District II to the SW, District III to the NW, and District IV to the NE). The remaining 2 positions continued to represent the interests of the city at-large. In 1976 and 1977, during the transition to this new configuration, the council actually had 8 members (1 Mayor, 4 district Councilmembers, and 3 at-large Councilmembers). The third at-large position was eliminated in 1978, and the resulting structure has continued unchanged to this day. A list of Bloomington's mayors can be found at List of mayors of Bloomington, Minnesota.
