Featured Biography:  Marie Cross - Jupiter's First Woman Mayor

Town records list 22 Mayors and 93 Commissioners/Councilors since 1925.  Their lives and the issues they faced while in office are interesting and sometimes fascinating. Jupiter was a small town, so elected officials in the past were often early pioneers.  Names include Sims, DuBois, Gladwin, Bassett, and Tomasello.  The elected officials often owned or managed businesses in Town ranging from retail to agriculture.
