Hoover Dam, located in Boulder City, NV, was the biggest engineering project the US has ever seen. It was also the first large concrete dam in history. Frank Crowe was the founder of the whole Hoover Dam project. The whole project was named after former president, Herbert Hoover. 5,000 men were taken to build the dam and one billion dollars was spent. After completion the men all celebrated because they made it so far. Others had fallen on the side but they finally finished the project in 1936.
