Alexander McMicken (27 August 1837 – 30 July 1916) was the sixth Mayor of Winnipeg in 1883.[1]
After moving to Winnipeg in 1871, he established a banking career and the following year established a bank in his own name. After serving in two city council terms, he became as Mayor following the 1882 election.[1]
He once lived at the J.C. Falls House at Roslyn Road, designated today as a historic building.[2] McMicken Street in Winnipeg is named in his honour.[1]
