It impounds Wilson Lake. It is one of nine Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) dams on the Tennessee River. The dam was declared a National Historic Landmark on November 13, 1966.[1][3] Construction on Wilson Dam began in 1918 and was completed in 1924 under supervision of Hugh L. Cooper[5]. First electricity generating unit did not go into service until September 1925, and in next few years only 40 percent of electric generating capacity was installed[4]. The Wilson Dam actually predates the TVA, but was later placed under the authority of the TVA. The dam is {{convert|137|ft|m}} high and stretches {{convert|4541|ft|m}} across the Tennessee River.[5] The cost to build the dam was almost $47 million.[6] The main lock at Wilson Dam is {{convert|110|ft|m}} wide by {{convert|600|ft|m}} long.[7] The lock lift is {{convert|94|ft|m}}.[7] It is the highest single lift lock east of the Rocky Mountains[5] An auxiliary lock has two {{convert|60|ft|m}} wide by {{convert|300|ft|m}} long chambers that operate in tandem. Over 3,700 vessels pass through Wilson Dam's locks each year.[5] The generating capacity of Wilson dam is 663 megawatts of electricity.[5] The dam is named for former President of the United States Woodrow Wilson.
