First mayoral term
Corro served as interim mayor of Ponce starting on 25 November 1845[2] upon the death-while-in-office of Salvador de Vives, and served until around 30 November 1845 when José Zaldo took Corro's place as interim mayor.
Second mayoral term
After José Zaldo had served as interim mayor until 31 December 1846,[lower-alpha 1] Antonio Corro again became the interim mayor on 1 January 1846 and served until 31 March 1846,[3] when José Ortíz de la Renta became mayor.
Notes
- It is likely that Antonio Corro was the "official" interim mayor, while Jose Zaldo filled it as mayor while Corro was away, perhaps in extended travel most likely to the Peninsula.
