The tower was built in 1889 for the World's fair. It was intended to stand for only 20 years: a permit was issued by the city of Paris for that time period, and plans for the structure included instructions for easy dismantling. The tower was saved in 1909 because it was found to be valuable as a communications tower for radio transmissions.
