Description

In 1907 the Jackson County, N.C., entrepreneur and industrialist C.J. Harris built a small power plant near his Dillsboro, N.C., home in order to generate electricity for his personal use and business ventures. He subsequently expanded this operation by having a dam constructed on the Tuckasegee River at Dillsboro and established the Dillsboro & Sylva Electric Company to sell electricity to the public and local municipalities. The company was in operation by 1911.
