Charles Henry Munger

Charles Henry Munger (born August 25, 1845) was an American politician who served as the third mayor of Orlando, Florida, from 1878 to 1879.^[1][2][3] During his tenure, Orlando faced a major crisis involving a land dispute over property surrounding the Courthouse Square. On July 24, 1879, Munger issued a "Proclamation Dissolving Orlando," as the unresolved dispute threatened the city's incorporation and its status as county seat. The situation was further exacerbated by the threat that a proposed railroad would bypass Orlando if the issue was not resolved, putting the city's future at risk.^[4] Munger's leadership during this pivotal year was crucial in navigating the city through one of its most decisive periods.
