Hoover Dam was built by people.
Hoover Dam was originally called Boulder Dam.
Herbert Hoover - Boulder Dam in the Black Canyon on the Colorado River was renamed to Hoover Dam in his honor.
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.
