From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baltimore City Hall, the meeting place of the council, in 2010

The First Branch of the Baltimore City Council was the lower house of the bicameral Baltimore City Council, the legislature of Baltimore, Maryland. Founded in 1797, it initially had two members from each of its eight wards with year-long terms. Wards became single-member in 1846 and terms were increased to two years in 1899, then four years in 1911. The First Branch merged with the Second Branch to form a unicameral legislature in 1923; it had 28 wards at the merger.[1][2]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ a b c d e Members of multi-member districts had no order of precedence; in this list, they are sorted alphabetically from left to right, however, if a member served multiple consecutive terms, they will remain in a single cell.
  2. ^ a b Dorsey resigned; Smith was elected to replace him in March.[5]
  3. ^ Resigned[6]
  4. ^ a b Fonerden resigned February 26, 1802; Woods was elected in March to replace him.
  5. ^ While the Maryland State Archives report Jacob's surname as "Wiley",[3] newspapers of the time wrote it as "Yeisley".[14][15]
  6. ^ Although their individual affiliations are unknown, the members of the 1861 council were nominated by the Central Independent Reform Committee to contest the Know Nothings.[14][15]
  7. ^ Sources conflict on Williams's middle initial; newspapers of the time reported his name as "William J. Williams",[16][17] while the Maryland State Archives report it as "William T. Williams".[3]
