The City of Thessaloniki has a rich history of 2.300 years under Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and Greek rule. The modern Municipality was founded in the second half of the 19th century, according to Ottoman legislation. The first mayor was the Muslim Suleiman Sudi Bey in 1869; the first mayor under Greek dominance was the Muslim Osman Ibrahim Haki Bey (1912-1916) who was succeeded by the first Christian mayor, Konstantinos Agelakis (1916-1920). During the Second World War, Konstantinos Merkourios (1937-1943) and Georgios Seremetis (1943-1944) were mayors .

              <p xml:lang="ell"><![CDATA[The current administrative boundaries are different in comparison with those in the period of the Second World War. In the past several decades new municipalities were created that included areas where Jewish population had lived before the Second World War. The Metropolitan Municipality, the current Municipality of Thessaloniki, had been the residence for the majority of the Jewish population before the Second World War. ]]></p>
