We are building a list of past Newburyport mayors. It is still a work in progress. If you know of any additional mayors that I have missed from 1950 to 2000 please let me know.

Thanks for the added info north_ender. You would think the Newburyport mayor history info would be easy to find online. -It’s not.
There is a book “The Mayors of Newburyport, 1851 to the Present,” edited and compiled by Jerie Larson and Todd C. Woodworth which takes them from Calb Cushing through Lisa Mead.
What happened to Mayor Al Lavender?
What happened to Mayor Mary Ann Clancy?

I met Mayor Sullivan in 1984, took a day trip from S Weymouth where I was stationed at the Naval Air Station. I was stationed with his sons Cris and Dick aboard the Carrier Midway in 1980-1981, hung out with Cris quite abit, great guy.
40 years ago this Yankee Homecoming my daughter made grant page news and it was rumored Mayor Sullivan was hoping for her birth on Sidewalk Sales Day 8/4/83!
Hi Audrey – tell us more about that. Thanks for posting!
