Robert Meyers (politician)
Robert E. Meyers (December 23, 1913 – March 26, 2007) was an American politician and judge. He served as the 26th mayor of Fort Wayne, Indiana, succeeding Harry W. Baals, who died in office in 1954. A reluctant mayor, he served out the term of Baals after winning a special election and declined to run for reelection, citing the fact he went to school to be a lawyer, not a politician.
Meyers was a leader in the city's effort to annex suburban areas surrounding Fort Wayne. Under his leadership, in his years as mayor from 1954 to 1959, the city grew from to in area.
In later life, Meyers served as an Allen County Superior Court Judge from 1971 until he retired from public life a second time, in 1985.
