The 1844–45 Boston mayoral election saw the election of Native American Party (Know Nothing) nominee Thomas Aspinwall Davis as mayor of Boston. The election took eight votes, as no candidate secured the needed majority in the first seven attempts. Incumbent Whig Party mayor Martin Brimmer was not a nominee reelection.[1]
Background
The election marked the rise of the city's newly founded Native American Party (Know Nothing) organization.[2] The election was characterized in part as a race between Presbyterians, largely regarded as backing the Native American Party cause, and the Unitarians, who were seen as backing the Whig Party.[3][4] It was alternatively described as reflecting dividing lines between party-line Whigs, locofocos, nativists, and abolitionists.[5]

Fifth vote (January 20, 1845)
The previous round's Whig nominee, Eliot, declined to run again. In their place, the party nominated William Parker.[16] The Previous round's Democratic nominee, Greene, also declined to run again.[16] He was replaced by Peter T. Homer.[17] A meeting was held at which the Whig Young Men's nominated William T. Eustis. It was speculated this was done with hopes of having him be a spoiler candidate and split the Know Nothing vote to prevent a Davis victory.[16]
A coinciding fifth vote was also held for the final two aldermanic seats, which saw victors emerge.[17]
