For decades developers, engineers, and farmers dreamed of damming the mighty Colorado River to tame its wild runoff for domestic use throughout the Southwest. Following several studies, government investigators chose sister canyons edging Nevada and Arizona as likely dam sites. The project was named for one Boulder Canyon before Black Canyon (above) proved the better choice. On September 17, 1930, Secretary of the Interior Ray Layman Wilbur announced the official name the Hoover Dam and drove the first spike for a rail line to Black Canyon. Directly behind Wilbur stands Bureau of Reclamation engineer Walker Young. Looking on are dam builders Charles Shea (fourth from right), of J. F. Shea, and Utah Construction's Henry J. Lawler (second from right). |
