Depending on who you believe, the first hydroelectric generator was either at Niagara falls in 1880 or at Appleton, Wisconsin in 1882. However, it is unclear whether either of these had a dam - they may have been simple waterwheels.
Water power has been used by man for over 5,000 years. In the ancient world water wheels were made to move large and small items, and water crops. One of the first clocks was a water clock and in ancient Rome aqueducts were built to move water into populated areas and to provide water for fountains, baths, and the Colosseum. The Colosseum used wheels and pulleys to move things around, provide water to patrons and to flood the floor to have sea battles. Water power was the first power used in the factory system in England by Arkwright for his looms. Hydraulic dams were build in the 19th century to provide power to the growing cities.
Lester A. Pelton is the person who invented the Pelton wheel which led to the use of low-cost hydroelectric power. The world's first hydro power plant was built by H.J. Rogers
