About Alexander Henry

Alexander Henry was an American politician who served three terms as mayor of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from 1858 to 1865. He was elected as a member of the People's Party but served his second and third terms as a member of the Republican Party. He implemented major increases and improvements to the Philadelphia Police Department. During the American Civil War, he was a staunch supporter of the Union but worked to suppress violence against Confederate sympathizers in the city and helped organize civilians to assist in constructing earthworks to defend the city during the 1863 Gettysburg campaign.
