Samuel W. Davies

"For the English footballer, see Samuel Richard Davies"

Samuel W. Davies was selected as Mayor of Cincinnati in 1833 and he continued in office for ten consecutive years.

He was one of the prominent figures in the history of Cincinnati of that time. Early writers speak highly of his "intelligence and strict integrity, both in public and private life". In his personal appearance there was nothing striking, except his queue, a fashion in hair dressing affected by the elderly men of that day. He was nearly six feet in height, and his smooth-shaven face always wore a severe mien. He was a Whig in politics, and an Episcopalian in religion.

He was one of the first in a company to establish the city water-works, from which would grow the present extensive system of water supply. He died on December 22, 1843.
