Mayoral history

[edit]

The unincorporated village of Steinbach was governed by a Schulz (mayor) and Schultebott (council) from 1874 to 1947 when Steinbach was incorporated as a town (and later as a city).[1] Steinbach's first schulz was Johan Reimer, while the longest-serving schulz was Johan G. Barkman, who served as schulz for 25 years. His grandson Leonard Barkman also later served as mayor.[2] The following chart lists Steinbach's mayors since incorporation as a town in 1947.
