On June 9, 1926, workers closed the gates to the dam. The Alabama Power Company declared the Cherokee Bluffs dam completed and in service on December 31, 1926. Some sources cite the next date, January 1, 1927 as the finish date. By spring of 1927, the lake was reported almost full, but I have not found any information as to the exact date it was officially declared as “full”.
