Description: Elizabethton,Tennessee was first serviced by relatively inexpensive hydroelectric power during the early 1910s, leading to the popular "The City of Power" moniker. The Horseshoe section of the Watauga River (found within the Tennessee Valley Authority reservation behind the TVA Wilbur Dam) is the site of first hydroelectric dam constructed in Tennessee (beginning in 1909), going online with power production and distribution in 1912. This file image is circa 1912-1913 and shows a "City of Power" lighted sign structure that had been at one time erected over the Elk Avenue Bridge in Elizabethton, Tennessee. I wave any rights to this image that I might have created through enhancing and modifying this image file.
