Description

New Yorks Mayoral Count Error: Zohran Mamdani to be 12th Mayor, Not 11thA researcher discovered that Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani will be the 12th mayor of New York City, not the 11th, due to a centuries-old error in the official count. The mistake was found in the Mayors Court Minute Book from 1674, revealing that Mayor Matthias Nicolls served two non-consecutive terms, but only one was counted in the citys records. The correction will impact all subsequent mayoral counts, including Mayor Bill de Blasio, who was initially listed as the 10th mayor but is actually the 11th.
