Minneapolis
From 1867 to 1878 mayors were elected for a 1-year term. Beginning in 1878 the term was extended to 2 years.
As the city became larger and more complex, expectations of voters for mayors increased. The term was extended to 4 years beginning in January 1982, to provide mayors with more time to achieve their programs.[1]
