A Pennsylvania town made history Monday night, swearing in its first female mayor.

Greenville, Pennsylvania's Jean Carr-Fisher took the oath of office this evening and was named mayor. Carr-Fisher has become Greenville's first female mayor in their almost 200-year history. 

"Women are blossoming all around us," Carr-Fisher said. "When I was young, I would have never been able to do this. Getting here, to this point, is a big deal. It's something I've looked forward to for years."

Carr-Fisher also serves as Greenville's council president. She also mentioned how well the council works together for the betterment of the community. 

"This year, when the race came up, I decided it was time...for the last 20 years, I worked really hard in Greenville," Carr-Fisher said.

She stated that she has worked with the committee over the years and is proud of the things she has been a part of accomplishing with the people of the town. 

"I think the people of Greenville not only deserve but want change," she said. Carr-Fisher credits her upbringing and supportive parents as a factor in all of her success. 

With hopes to see a female president one day, Carr-Fisher says that she strives to encourage young women to get involved in local politics.
