- The Conklingville Dam
- What occurred
- The Conklingville Dam was finalized in 1930 after decades of pressure by Cities downriver to create a reservoir for flood control and water storage purposes. The Dam flooded the Sacandaga River Valley, forcing all communities within the flood zone to relocate. Little say and notice was given to the local communities, leaving many families feeling blindsided and neglecte by the State.
