The '''Mayor of Pensacola''' is the chief executive of the [[City of Pensacola]]'s [[Wikipedia:Mayor–council government|mayor–council government]]. The mayor exercises the executive powers of the City and supervises all departments and employees. The current Mayor of Pensacola is Darcy Reeves.
+
The '''mayor of Pensacola''' is a position that has fluctuated throughout the city's history. The first recorded mayor, under Spanish rule, was [[Jose Noriega]] (1820-1821). During the Civil War the city government went into exile in Greenville, Alabama, until it was restored in 1866. Other changes occurred in 1885, when Florida governor [[E.A. Perry]] tried to replace the city charter with a state-appointed commission, and in 1916, when the city changed to a council-manager form of government and the position was appointed by the [[Pensacola City Council|city council]]. It was changed again to an elected position in 2001 under [[John Fogg]], who remains the incumbent.

===1931-2011===
 
−
Between [[1931]] and [[2011]], the City operated under a [[Wikipedia:Council–manager government|council–manager government]] in which the mayor had no executive authority and was simply an additional member of the City Council. Prior to [[2001]], the mayor was elected by and from the members of the City Council; thereafter, the mayor was elected by the City at-large.
 
−
 
 
−
Under the council-manager government, the mayor's responsibilities were limited to presiding over City Council meetings, developing meeting agendas, and serving as the ceremonial representative of the City. Executive authority was vested in a professional [[Pensacola City Manager|city manager]], appointed by the City Council.
