village mayor

Small community's head

A village mayor is the elected or appointed head of a village government, responsible for local administration and representing the community.

The role typically carries less authority than mayors of larger municipalities, often focusing on zoning disputes, small public works, and community events: The village mayor cut the ribbon at the new fire station.
