100 Years of Venice! Edward Worthington was Venice’s first mayor, serving from 1926 to 1928. 

Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Worthington was a senior investment member at Worthing & Murfey. He developed a friendship with George T. Webb, who was the executive vice president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive  Engineers’ bank and the president of the Venice Company. 

Webb motivated Worthington to engage in the budding politics of Venice, which ultimately led to his appointment as mayor shortly after the City’s incorporation in 1926. 

🥳Join us tomorrow, April 15, at 9 a.m. at Centennial Park to recognize the mayors and City Council members, past and present, who have helped shape our community over the last 100 years.

The Centennial Park rededication ceremony remarks from the Mayor and City Manager, special presentation for former and current elected officials in attendance, and concludes with a special Centennial unveiling with a performance of the Centennial song, Venice, Forever Home, by The Venice Chorale. 🎶

This event is open to the public, and all are welcome to be part of this meaningful moment in our City’s history. Seating will be limited; you are encouraged to bring a chair. We’ll see you there!
