Answer
The answer is no. Milwaukee's first mayor was Solomon Juneau, who served from 1846 to 1847. James S. Brown was the sixth mayor of Milwaukee, serving from 1860 to 1862. The discrepancy relates to when Milwaukee was incorporated as a city, which occurred on January 31, 1846. Prior to becoming a city, it was governed by a village or town board.
