This is a list of mayors from Asheville, North Carolina. This position was originally called the chairman of the Board of Commissioners but changed to mayor in 1857. Asheville historian Foster Sondley wrote that no reports of elected officials were kept until 1845.
Mayors were traditionally elected in May; however, the term year is typically the year elected rather than the range from June to May. In the early years, mayors were elected for one-year terms. Later, terms were expanded to two years and, then, to four years. In 1915, the Board of Aldermen was changed to the Board of Commissioners.
