The Sweetwater Dam Played a significant role in the early development of National City. The Sweetwater Dam is a dam across the Sweetwater River in San Diego County, California. The dam was a part of a larger resource system designed to provide water for growing crops along the coast to supply San Diego and its surrounding communities.  Frank A. Kimball, one of the area's early settlers, first proposed building a dam on the stretch of Sweetwater River in 1869.  Later, the importance of the dam became even more evident. During the winter of 1915 Southern California faced a severe drought that had drained local reservoirs to record lows after more than three years of little to no rain. This crisis cost significant losses for both agriculture and ranching, highlighting the critical need for reliable water and fractures like the Sweetwater Dam. As the Sweetwater Dam became a lifeline for the community during challenging times like the 1915 drought. The damn ability to provide water for crops and livestock showed its importance and obtaining both economy and daily life.
