The events that happened in Lezo’s story are important, but so are the people who stepped up to lead it. From the early Gobernadorcillos of the Spanish period to the elected municipal officials of today, every town executive has had to help Lezo through changes like colonial rule, political changes, annexations, and growth into a modern city. This record honors the men and women who served by keeping their names and years of leadership as part of Lezo’s shared history and identity.
