Description
Mayor from 1876 - 1877 and 1879 - 1881
Scotsman William Hutchison was a seasoned politician by the time he was elected as mayor of Wellington in 1876. He was a member of the Wellington Provincial Council, and had also been the mayor of Wanganui.
Much of Hutchison's mayoralty dealt with whether the Council would have ownership of the waterfront, or if this task should go to a separate office.
Hutchison served two terms as mayor, returning for a second term after George Allen's three-week mayoralty in 1879.
