The Boston mayoral election of 1910 occurred on Tuesday, January 11, 1910. John F. Fitzgerald , who had been Mayor of Boston from 1906 to 1908, defeated incumbent George A. Hibbard and two other candidates.[1]
This was the first Boston mayoral election held under a new city charter,[2] which made the election nonpartisan, and increased the mayor's term from two years to four years.[3] Due to November voting on the charter change, this election was held in January, with the term of the incumbent mayor extended into February.[4]
Fitzgerald was inaugurated on Monday, February 7.[5]
