The last mayor of the City of New York to resign was William O'Dwyer in 1950. Only two New York City mayors have resigned in the history of the city: James J. Walker on Sept. 1, 1932; and William O'Dwyer on Sept. 2, 1950.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been charged with accepting bribes and soliciting illegal foreign donations to his election campaign, according to a federal indictment that was unsealed on Thursday.

Two previous mayors, Jimmy Walker in 1932 and Bill O’Dwyer in 1950, resigned amid corruption investigations surrounding their administrations. But unlike Adams, Walker and O’Dwyer were not charged while in office.
