Remains of an old dam which generate power from the city of Greenwood can be found about 100 feet upstream from the falls' brink.

There were many mining opportunities in the area so the miners started building a smelter which they finished in 1901.

Today, only slag piles remain of what was once a pretty good sized refining and power generating settlement.
