ONE hundred years have passed today since Páll Einarsson was elected the first mayor of Reykjavík. The position of mayor was advertised for applications in Ingólfi on February 23, 1908. The advertisement stated that the position "comes with" 4,500 ISK. and "office capital" ISK 1,500. Knud Zimsen, town councilor and Páll Einarsson, county commissioner and town bailiff in Hafnarfjörður applied for the position. At the town council meeting on May 7, 1908, votes were taken and Knud Zimsen received three votes, while Páll Einarsson was elected mayor for 6 years with 10 votes cast. At that time, the townspeople numbered around 11,000.
In a news report from the City of Reykjavík yesterday, it is said that Páll turned out to be a very successful mayor and during his time a variety of large-scale projects were undertaken that turned the town into a city. These include the construction of water supply, gas stations, sewers and port construction. Páll chose to resign in 1914 when his term ended. The position was then advertised again and Knud Zimsen was elected town representative. He was mayor until 1932.
Páll was appointed town bailiff in Akureyri and magistrate in Eyjafjarðar County in 1914 and in 1919 he was appointed a Supreme Court judge and held that position until 1935
» Páll Einarsson was born in Hraun in Fljótum on May 25th in 1868. He died on December 17th in 1954.
»After completing his law degree from Hafnarháskóli, he was appointed a litigator at the national supreme court. Páll was a sheriff in Barðastrandar County for years, a bailiff in Hafnarfjörður and a sheriff in Gullbringu and Kjósar County, and later a bailiff in Akureyri and a sheriff in Eyjafjarðar County. He was a Supreme Court judge from 1919 to 1935.
