Hoover Dam
The Boulder Dam was officially renamed Hoover Dam in 1930, in honor of President Herbert Hoover, who played a key role in its construction. The name change reflected Hoover's significant contributions to the project during his tenure as Secretary of Commerce and later as President. The dam was originally referred to as Boulder Dam during its construction, but the name was changed to recognize Hoover's influence and support.
When the dam was in its planning stages, in 1930, Herbert Hoover was President. It was then in 1930 that Secretary Ickes stated publicly that Hoover Dam was to be built, noting that naming a dam after a president was appropriate. In 1933, when Hoover was not re-elected, the name was reverted to Boulder Dam. It remained Bould Dam until 1947, when an act of Congress officially re-named the dam Hoover Dam.
