Edward Cooper (mayor)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An 1879 Puck cartoon shows Cooper being spanked by his father industrialist Peter Cooper.

Edward Cooper (October 26, 1824 – February 25, 1905) was the mayor of New York from 1879 to 1880, serving as a Democrat. He was the only son of industrialist Peter Cooper.^[1] Edward Cooper's business partner and brother-in-law, Abram S. Hewitt, also served as mayor of New York City (1887-1888). W.R. Grace's terms as mayor separated Cooper's and Hewitt's terms. W.R. Grace's terms were in turn separated by Franklin Edson's term.
