David A. Jenkins

This article is about a 19th century politician. For 20th century mayor of Salt Lake City, Utah and land-speed record holder, see David Abbot Jenkins.

David A. Jenkins (1822–1886) was a Republican politician and North Carolina State Treasurer from 1868 until 1876.

He was the first official elected to the post after it became a position elected by popular vote under the North Carolina Constitution of 1868. He resigned before the end of his term, on which Governor Curtis H. Brogden named the Democrat John M. Worth to replace him. Jenkins was the only Republican elected North Carolina State Treasurer until 2016, when Dale Folwell was elected.[1]

His home located at Gastonia, Gaston County, North Carolina was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 as the David Jenkins House.[2][3]
