Great Falls received the nickname of the "Electric City" for the 5 hydroelectric dams that were built near the city along the Missouri River. In 1883 Paris Gibson, a business man, travelled to the area and realized the potential energy the river could create. Gibson convinced investors to assist in establishing the area, and by 1887 the town had grown and had approximately 1,200 residents.
