Albert A. Ultcht (1859–1943) was a two-term mayor of Melbourne, Florida from 1922 to 1924.
He was the son of August Ultcht.[6]
He was an alderman in Mount Vernon, New York.[4] [5] In his capacity as alderman, he was a successful advocate for the "macadamizing" of public roads.[4]
In 1914, he owned a Studebaker automobile dealership in Mount Vernon.[5] This business was later named Vernon Heights Garage.[5]
As mayor of Melbourne, he recommended to the City Council that they pass an ordinance to regulate the blowing of whistles by the passing railroad.[7] It had been an ongoing source of complaints for many years.[7] He advocated for the creation of a hospital, and contributed his salary and other mayoral fees to create a hospital building fund.[8]
After his term, he was appointed a municipal judge.[8]
In 1932, he and his son Floyd returned to Mount Vernon and reopened the dealership under the name Vernon Park Motors, Inc.[5]
