The Edward Dean Adams Power Station built in 1895 was not the first hydro power station at Niagara, but it goes down in history as being the largest hydro electric power generation site of it's era. Also: we have listed other smaller power plants at Niagara which predated the "Adams" on our timeline lower on this page.
1886 - Thomas Evershed develops a plan to use massive underground tunnels and a powerhouse to capture the power of the Niagara River at the falls.
Notice how this is stated. Use vs build.
