The Mayor of San Salvador (Spanish: Alcalde de San Salvador) is the head of the municipal government of the city of San Salvador, the capital city of El Salvador.

History

[edit]

The position of Mayor of San Salvador was established on 1 April 1525 with Diego de Holguín, a Spanish conquistador, serving as its first mayor.[1] He served as mayor of the old city of San Salvador, now known as Ciudad Vieja.[2] The city was refounded in 1528 in its modern location and Diego de Alvarado assumed the mayorship of San Salvador.[2]
