List of mayors of Allentown, Pennsylvania

The city of Allentown, Pennsylvania was founded in 1762 as – Northampton Town by William Allen, a wealthy shipping merchant. During its first fifty years of existence, Northampton Town was a small unincorporated settlement, consisting of a few homes, stores and taverns.
==Political origins==
After reaching a population of over 700 residents in the 1810 United States Census, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania gave Northampton Town a legal existence on 18 March 1811 by incorporating it as the – Borough of Northampton, in Northampton County. Previous to this Northampton Town had community leaders, and with its incorporation as a Borough, the first local politicians were born. The first Borough election was held at the tavern of George Savitz, a tavern-keeper who owned the ''Square and Compass'', an inn located at the northeast corner of 7th and Hamilton Streets.〔( Past, Present and Future of the City of Allentown, Pennsylvania, Allentown Board of Trade, 1886 )〕
Peter Rhodes was chosen as the first Burgess; George Rhoads as the town clerk; John F. Rhue as the High Constable, and a town council was established as the first civic legislature. Peter Rhodes was a prominent citizen and shopkeeper who served on the Committee for Public Safety in Northampton during the Revolutionary War. The first business of the Borough government was to order cows to seek other pastures other than the public streets. An action which led many of its citizens to believe they were better off when it was plain Northampton Town, before it became a Borough.〔
In 1812, Lehigh County was formed by partitioning a section of Northampton County, and Northampton was designated as its county seat. Frederick Eckert was elected as the second Burgess. George Graff was elected Burgess in 1813, however records of elections in Northampton have been lost from the period 1815–1830. On 16 April 1836, an act of the Pennsylvania Legislature changed the name of the community from Nortampton to – Allentown, and John P. Rhue was Burgess. During its existence as a Borough, Northampton/Allentown had a total of forty-seven annual municipal elections. A Burgess was elected each year, the most prominent was John J. Krauss, being elected five times in succession from 1830 to 1835. Other known Burgesses of the town were Samuel Runk (1839–1849); Robert E. Wright (1845), and Peter Wycoff (1846).〔 In 1866, William Kern was elected burgess over Thomas Mohr by a vote of 974 to 881, Kern being the last Burgess of Allentown〔
