Back in the 1800s, electricity distribution was a short-range business, driven by nearby DC generators. In the mid-1860s, the company started construction on a dam in the town of Folsom to provide a pond that would store the logs cut in the higher foothills before they were sent down the river to the sawmill. That changed in 1895.
