Appointed Mayor and Council

Description

During the first seven decades in Washington D.C., authorities with jurisdiction over streets effected almost no investment in infrastructure. Starting with the incorporation of Washington, D.C. as a city in 1802, its management fell to a Presidentially appointed Mayor and elected six-member City Council; in 1820 a new Congressionally-granted charter permitted the election of a Mayor by City residents.
