==History of office==
In 1199 there is a record of the appointment of a Provost of Cork, as chief magistrate of the city. From 1273 under Edward I there were Mayors of Cork, the first record of the office (as ''Mayor of Cork'') is in a charter granted to the city by Edward II in 1318. The title was changed to ''Lord Mayor'' in a charter issued by Queen Victoria on 9 July 1900;〔(List of charters issued to Cork city )〕 unlike his counterparts, the Lord Mayor of Dublin and the Lord Mayor of Belfast, the Cork Lord Mayor was not entitled to title The Right Honourable. The title Lord Mayor defines the power of a city when compared to other towns and cities around the country. Only Dublin, Belfast, Armagh and Cork have the privilege of using the title Lord Mayor, as opposed to just simply Mayor.
In a ceremony known as ''Throwing the Dart'', the Lord Mayor throws a dart into Cork Harbour at its boundaries, to symbolise the city's control over the port. This tradition was first recorded in 1759, although it is probably older.〔(Mayor throws down gauntlet ) Irish Examiner〕
