Allison Clark Bonnell (March 16, 1801 – August 16, 1875),[1] better known as A. C. Bonnell, was an American politician and businessman. He served as the second mayor of Portland, Oregon, in 1852.
Bonnell was born near Chatham,[1][2] New Jersey, in 1801.[1][2][3] In the 1840s, he was working in the retail business in Cincinnati, Ohio, until deciding to move west, arriving in San Francisco on November 1, 1849. He worked as a recorder clerk in the administration of mayor John W. Geary until August 1850, when he moved to Portland, Oregon.[2]
He was elected as Portland's second mayor in 1852, succeeding Hugh O'Bryant.[4] He served as mayor for six months, then resigned to take a long business trip. In April 1853, after his return, Bonnell was elected to the position of city recorder.[2][3] He served three months, then moved permanently to San Francisco, California.[3] He died in San Francisco in 1875.[1]
