Best Answer

The dam straddles the boundary between Nevada and Arizona. Nevada is in the Pacific Time Zone (GMT-8) whereas Arizona is in the Mountain Time Zone (GMT-7) and is therefore 1 hour ahead. However, since Arizona does not observe Daylight Saving Time but Nevada does, during the summer the clocks on both sides will be the same time.

What famous dam is named after president Hoover?

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.
