Hoover Dam at 50 Remains Southwest Lifeline and Marvel
Hoover Dam marks its 50th anniversary as a major Southwest lifeline. The structure tames the Colorado River, creating Lake Mead and powering millions of homes. Built by six Western companies, it required 6,000 workers and multiple facilities, with Boulder City rising nearby to house labor. Dedicated by Franklin D. Roosevelt in May 1935, the dam stands as a landmark of American engineering.
