George Albee Hibbard (October 27, 1864 – May 29, 1910) was an American businessman and politician who served as the mayor of Boston from 1908 to 1910.
[6] In the December 1907 mayoral election, Hibbard ran as a Republican against incumbent and Democratic candidate John F. Fitzgerald.
He also established a permanent Finance Committee appointed by the governor to act as a counterweight to the local Democrats.
Nonetheless, his actions earned him numerous enemies, and the reform coalition refused to endorse him for reelection.
Despite this, the ailing mayor ran anyway, spurred on by Fitzgerald who wanted to divide the vote.
