The Quemahoning Dam was built beginning in 1911 to create a reservoir of water to supply the Cambria Iron Works in Johnstown in the years following the great flood. In recent years the area has been purchased by two local counties and besides supplying water to local communities and industry the agency that oversees it has opened it up for recreation.
