In 1912, Ralph W. Street of Kansas City first proposed damming the Osage River to generate electricity. However, it wasn’t until 1924 that Street and Walter Cravens, also of Kansas City, arranged financing and formed the Missouri Hydro-Electric Power Company. The company began building roads, housing, an administration building, mess hall and other facilities needed to support construction of a dam near the tiny town of Bagnell. However, financial difficulties brought the project to a halt in 1926. On July 27, 1929, Union Electric Company of St. Louis (now known as Ameren Missouri) purchased the facilities, and construction resumed on August 6. The New York Stock Exchange “crashed” two months later, bringing on the Great Depression, but work on the project continued. It became the only major construction project in the nation at the time, attracting thousands of workers from all over the country. Records show more than 20,000 people worked on the project at one time or another. Although there were some steam shovels and other powered equipment, most labor was done by hand. Pay rates for construction workers were as low as $0.35 an hour. But during the Depression era, when a person could be hired for farm work for $0.50 a day, workers were glad to make the hourly wage. The project was truly massive. Nearly 60,000 acres of land had to be acquired, and about 30,000 acres cleared of trees and brush. One million cubic yards of earth and rock had to be moved. Enough con...

Actual construction of Bagnell Dam and what was to become the nation's largest wholly artificial lake began August 6, 1929; however, the project was studied as early as 1912.

Still, a preliminary permit was issued by the Federal Power Commission on November 12, 1924. A week later the newly-formed Missouri Hydro-Electric Power Company was authorized to perform the initial developmental work.
