In Quito, the first use of the title of mayor, or alcalde in Spanish, was established in 1946. The office has since been held by 21 men with an average term of about 3½ years. Prior to 1946, and dating back to the mid 1700's, the chief executive was known only as President of the Metropolitan Council of Quito.
