Emil Ganz (d. 1922) was the three-time mayor of Phoenix, Arizona.
He fought in Georgia during the American Civil War, on the Confederate side. From a German Jewish background, he was an atheist, and brought his children up as atheists.
In 2001, professional historian Mark Pry wrote a biography of Ganz, Immigrant Banker: The Life of Emil Ganz. The book was commissioned by granddaughter Joan Ganz Cooney, a television producer who co-created Sesame Street; the biography is part of her papers, donated to the Schlesinger Library at Harvard University.
