The very first Mayor of New York City was Thomas Willett, who served from 1665 to 1666.
Before 1664, New York City was under Dutch control, and was called New Amsterdam. New Amsterdam did not have mayors; instead, the Dutch appointed a Director General to govern the city.
In 1664, the English took control of New Amsterdam and renamed it New York. From 1664 to 1665, Richard Nicolls governed New York under the title of British Military Governor of the Province of New York.
In 1665 the office of Mayor of New York was established, and Thomas Willett became the first official Mayor of New York City.
The first mayor of the five boroughs of New York City was Robert Van Wyck. He was the mayor from 1898 to 1901. Before 1898, New York City consisted of just Manhattan.
In 1898, the five boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island) consolidated into one city, and Van Wyck became the first mayor for the five boroughs of New York City.
