Trivia: Which of these cities had a mayor who later became President?
Cincinnati, Ohio
Houston, Texas
Buffalo, New York
Richmond, Virginia
The correct answer is Buffalo, New York
So why is this answer correct? : Only three Presidents in U.S. history have served as city mayors before later taking the highest office in the land. Andrew Johnson was the mayor of Greeneville, Tennessee; Calvin Coolidge led Northampton, Massachusetts; and Grover Cleveland was mayor of Buffalo, New York. While in the so-called Queen City, future President Cleveland cleaned up corruption, which helped him to become governor of New York and then President.
