Philip Wasserman (December 1828 – February 26, 1895)[1] was the mayor of Portland, Oregon, United States from 1871 to 1873. He was a pioneer banker and co-founder of the First National Bank.[2]
Wasserman moved to Portland from San Francisco in 1858 and entered the tobacco and cigar business with his brother, Herman.[1] He was part of a group of successful early Jews in Portland who exhibited a strong sense of public responsibility and appetite for public life, along with his predecessor (and Portland's first Jewish mayor), Bernard Goldsmith.[2]
He died of heart failure at his home in Portland on February 26, 1895.[1]
