President Trump might be jealous of this president's colossal namesake. Who slapped his name on this enormous dam?

Named after Herbert Hoover, who granted funds to have the dam built, the Hoover Dam was a huge engineering feat in its day (still is), and stretches a whopping 220 acres, damming up the Colorado River. The dam supplies water to seven surrounding states and part of Mexico, while also producing hydroelectric power. Damnnnnnn!
