“List of mayors of Chesterfield”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The office of Mayor of Chesterfield has existed since 1598 when Queen Elizabeth issued a charter to the town, granting the town the right to have a mayor. The first holder of this position was Ralph Clarke. This charter is on display in the Chesterfield Museum and Art Gallery.

Prior to 1933 when the Local Government Act 1933 came into effect, any local citizen could hold the position, following this act only elected councillors could become mayor.^[2]

In 1974, a new charter issued by Queen Elizabeth II was granted when Staveley and Brimington where added to the borough to form the Chesterfield Borough Council.
