Charles Gordon Bohannan (1852–1934) was a two-term Democratic mayor of South Norwalk, Connecticut from 1897 to 1898 and from 1899 to 1901.
Dr. Charles G. Bohannan was born in Westville, Virginia, October 7, 1852.[1] He was the son of John G. Bohannan (1827–1897) and Laura Lee Daniel (died 1886).[1] His father was a planter and a physician in Mathews County, Virginia, whose first wife was Ann Billups, the daughter of Major George Billups.[1] They had seven children, but Ann died in 1841. When Virginia seceded, Bohannan's father entered the ranks of the Confederate Army, in which he remained for three years and became a colonel.[1] In 1849, Bohannan's father married his mother, a daughter of William Daniell. They also had seven children together. His father served as a State Representative from Matthews County, Virginia from 1885 to 1886.[1]
In 1875, Bohannan entered the Medical Department of the University of the City of New York, graduating in 1878.[1] After completing his course in medicine he returned to Virginia, where he practiced his profession for a year and a half.[1] He was then appointed house surgeon at the Orthopedic Hospital at New York City, spending six months as in-door and six months as out-door surgeon.[1]
In 1881, Bohannan came to South Norwalk.[1] He became active in the work of the local Democratic Party.[1]
He served as school visitor, a member of the South Norwalk Common Council, and in 1897, was elected mayor of South Norwalk.[1]
