Date Visited:   Monday, August 25, 2003
City Visited #:   369
County:   Grant
Visited With:   Michelle & Denny
City Name History:   Born during construction of Grand Coulee Dam, the town was so named because of its proximity to a major source of electrical power. Planners also hoped to make it a model all-electric cooking and heating community. The 1934 name stuck, the all-electric concept did not.
