It is named in honor of President Herbert Hoover, — who played a crucial role in its creation. For many years, residents of the American southwest sought to tame the Colorado to prevent flooding and provide irrigation to transform the arid region into fertile cropland. The greatest obstacle to constructing a dam was the issue of water rights allocation among the seven states of the Colorado River drainage basin.
