Mayors of Mobile between 1911 and 1985 (President of the City Commission)
From 1911 to 1985, Mobile was governed by a three-member city commission. The office of Mayor of Mobile rotated between the members of the commission and was the title given to the President of the Commission. The last directly elected mayor before the institution of the commission was Patrick J. Lyons. He was the 40th mayor of Mobile. Lyons would go on to be elected to the City Commission where he would serve as mayor several more times. The numbers listed correspond to their order within the overall list of the mayors of Mobile, not their order in presiding over the commission.
