Reeve
Medieval estate manager
A reeve is a local official or overseer.
Historically in England, a reeve administered a manor or district on behalf of a lord or the crown—the shire reeve became the sheriff.
In Canadian municipal government, a reeve heads the council of a rural municipality or township.
The word survives mainly in historical contexts and Canadian local politics.
