The "pre-modern" era of the Ann Arbor city council ended with the adoption of a new city charter on April 9, 1956. That charter established the number of wards in the city at five, with representation on the council defined as the mayor and two representatives from each ward, who all serve two-year terms. Before adoption of the 1956 charter, the city council included 22 members – a president of the council and three representatives from each of seven wards (a supervisor and two aldermen). [For membership after adoption of the charter, see Ann Arbor City Council Membership: Modern Era] Below is a partial table of pre-modern Ann Arbor city council membership:
