Our History

April 20, 2006

I love history. Whether it is world history, American history, or even Cedar Hill history, I am fascinated by how events of yesterday shape the events of today and tomorrow.

Thinking about Cedar Hill’s history, I recently asked our City Secretary about our past mayors. Since 1939, we have had 12 mayors. Our current Mayor, Rob Franke, is the 12th mayor in a distinguished list of mayors, beginning with J. C. Potter in 1939.

  1. J. C. Potter
  2. B. “Doc” Phillips
  3. T. W. “Turk” Cannady
  4. Phil Vines
  5. Ithiel Worden
  6. Mark Bielamowicz
  7. George W. Walters
  8. Archie Hall
  9. Kenneth Lander
  10. W. S. Permenter
  11. Dr. Chris L. Rose
  12. Rob Franke

Of course, there have been many city council members. Here is a complete list of council members from 1945 to the present. No city records have been found of council members prior to 1945.
