The Diablo Dam was built by Seattle City Light at a location 7-1/2 miles upstream from Newhalem and completed August 27, 1930. Due to the Great Depression, the Diablo Powerhouse was not completed until 1935, with the first power being generated in 1936.
Work on the dam was carried out by the Winston Brothers Construction Company of Minneapolis with work beginning in 1927. Winston Brothers used quite a bit of their own railroad equipment on the project, including a 37 ton Shay locomotive.
