Hoover Dam
The Hoover Dam is located on the border between Nevada and Arizona.
One notable public-works project that began under President Herbert Hoover was the construction of the Hoover Dam. Initiated in 1931, the dam was built to control flooding, provide irrigation, and generate hydroelectric power in the Colorado River Basin. This monumental project not only created thousands of jobs during the Great Depression but also significantly transformed the region's economy and infrastructure. The dam was ultimately completed in 1936 and remains an iconic symbol of American engineering.

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.
