The '''mayor of Cleveland''' is the head of the executive branch of [[Local government in the United States|government]] of the [[Cleveland|City of Cleveland]], [[Ohio]]. As the chief executive in Cleveland's [[Mayor–council government#Strong-mayor government form|mayor–council (strong mayor)]] system, the [[mayor]] oversees all city services and is "responsible for enforcing the city charter, city ordinances, and the laws of the State of Ohio."<ref name="cle-city-gov">{{cite encyclopedia |last=Kollar| first=Mary Ellen| title=Cleveland City Government |encyclopedia=The Encyclopedia of Cleveland History | date=June 14, 2018|publisher=[[Case Western Reserve University]] |url=https://case.edu/ech/articles/c/cleveland-city-government |access-date=June 27, 2021}}</ref> The mayor's office is located at [[Cleveland City Hall]] at 601 Lakeside Avenue in [[Downtown Cleveland]]. Since 1836, the city has had a total of 54 mayors, including the city's current mayor, [[Justin Bibb]], encompassing 58 mayoral administrations, as four mayors have served in non-consecutive terms.<ref name="city-mayor-list">{{cite web|url=https://www.clevelandohio.gov/CityofCleveland/Home/Government/MayorsOffice/PastMayors|title=Former Mayors of the City of Cleveland|publisher=City of Cleveland|access-date=June 27, 2021}}</ref>

==History==
Cleveland was established by General [[Moses Cleaveland]] and surveyors of the [[Connecticut Land Company]] on July 22, 1796.<ref name="timeline">{{cite encyclopedia | url=http://ech.case.edu/timeline.html|title=Timeline|encyclopedia= The Encyclopedia of Cleveland History|publisher=[[Case Western Reserve University]]|access-date=July 23, 2022|date=April 5, 2022}}</ref> The settlement (then known as "Cleaveland", after its founder) was incorporated as a village on December 23, 1814.<ref name="timeline"/> At this time, the position of municipal executive was the village president. [[Alfred Kelley]] was the first to be elected to that post in June 1815.<ref>{{cite book|last=Avery|first=Elroy McKendree|author-link=Elroy M. Avery|title=A History of Cleveland and Its Environs: The Heart of New Connecticut. Volume I|location=Chicago and New York|publisher=Lewis Publishing Co.|date=1918|page=[https://archive.org/details/historyofclevela01elro/page/98/ 98]}}</ref> When Cleveland became a city in 1836, it adopted a mayor–council form of government.<ref name="cle-city-gov"/> [[John W. Willey]] was the city's first mayor.<ref name="enc-mayor"/>

Initially, [[Cleveland City Council]] had greater power in Cleveland's city government, but this changed with the adoption of the 1892 Federal Plan, which significantly strengthened the office of the mayor. When the plan was ruled unconstitutional in 1902 by the [[Supreme Court of Ohio]], the powers of the mayor were lessened in the city's new municipal code.<ref name="cle-city-gov"/> However, after the state granted Cleveland municipal [[Home rule in the United States|home rule]] in 1912, the role of the mayor was enhanced in the 1913 [[municipal corporation|municipal charter]].<ref name="cle-city-gov"/> When the city adopted a [[council–manager government]] in 1924, the city manager, selected by council, assumed the role of the municipal executive.<ref name="manager">{{cite encyclopedia |title=City Manager Plan |encyclopedia=The Encyclopedia of Cleveland History |publisher=[[Case Western Reserve University]] |url=https://case.edu/ech/articles/c/city-manager-plan |access-date=August 6, 2021 |date=May 11, 2018}}</ref> However, the council–manager experiment was brief and, in November 1931, voters approved returning to the mayor–council system.<ref name="manager"/>

For much of [[History of Cleveland|Cleveland's history]], mayoral elections were [[partisan (politics)|partisan]], but in 1971, under the mayoral administration of [[Ralph Perk]], the city amended its charter to make elections [[nonpartisanism|nonpartisan]].<ref>{{cite book|title=The Crisis of Growth Politics: Cleveland, Kucinich, and the Challenge of Urban Populism|last=Swanstrom|first=Todd|date=1985|publisher=Temple University Press|isbn=9780877223665|location=Philadelphia|page=273n}}</ref> The term of office for the mayor and members of council was traditionally two years, but was extended to four years in 1981 under Mayor [[George Voinovich]].<ref name="cle-city-gov"/> According to the Cleveland City Charter, there are currently no term limits for the mayor.<ref>{{cite web|last=Pinckard|first=Cliff|title=Group wants term limits for Cleveland mayor, council members|url=https://www.cleveland.com/metro/2017/10/group_wants_term_limits_for_cl.html|publisher=[[The Plain Dealer]]|date=October 23, 2017|access-date= June 27, 2021}}</ref>
