Mayor of Freetown

Last updated September 09, 2025

There have been a number of mayors of Freetown, Sierra Leone. Until the municipality of Freetown was established in 1895, the post of mayor was effectively in the gift of the colonial Governor, so some mayors have been appointees rather than elected representatives of Freetown, Sierra Leone.
