1890-1896

A new Freeholders Charter was adopted in 1890 which increased the number of wards to eight and created a bicameral City Council, composed of a Board of Aldermen and a House of Delegates. The nine-member Board of Aldermen was elected at large to four-year terms. The House of Delegates was composed of two members elected from each of the City's eight wards. At the first election after adoption of the amendment, eight members of the House of Delegates and all members of the Board of Aldermen were elected. At the 1892 General Election, the remaining eight members of the House were elected.
