The Shoals, Colbert and Lauderdale counties
The first dam built on the Tennessee River, Wilson Dam was constructed between 1918 and 1924 to supply power
for a government nitrate plant. The dam later became part of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) system that
controlled flooding on the river and provided power to residents of the Tennessee Valley region.
