# Mayor of San Salvador

The Mayor of San Salvador (Spanish: Alcalde de San Salvador) is the head of the municipal government of the city of San Salvador, the capital city of El Salvador.

## History

The position of Mayor of San Salvador was established on 1 April 1525 with Diego de Holguín, a Spanish conquistador, serving as its first mayor. He served as mayor of the old city of San Salvador, now known as Ciudad Vieja. The city was refounded in 1528 in its modern location and Diego de Alvarado assumed the mayorship of San Salvador.
