Eloy’s Myers awarded top designation for city clerks

The municipal clerk is possibly the oldest profession as it traces back to before Biblical times. Then again there’s no real way of knowing how long it’s been around since the clerks are the ones who keep the records.
Ancient Greece had a city secretary who read official documents publicly. In the eighth century, the Frankish Kings of France depended on the mayor of the palace who performed clerical and administrative tasks ranging from collecting taxes and fees to publishing documents and keeping state records.
Over time other parts of the world also adopted some variation of a town clerk.
