Hoover Dam

The town of Hoover Dam is a town built along the top and sides of the dam. At the bottom of the dam there's a slummy area, and the dam's rim is home to all the rich folk and military.

The Dam became part of the New California Republic some time after 2242. The town has lost contact with the central government of the NCR in Shady Sands, and Governor Dodge, the leader of Hoover Dam assumed that it was destroyed by the remains of the Enclave (possibly from Navarro). He's determined to hold the NCR together, and declared himself the president of NCR (or what is left of it). Unfortunately, Dodge is a weak leader, and he fights an ongoing war with the Brotherhood of Steel.

Appearances in games
The Hoover Dam did not appear nor was mentioned in any of the published games, but was one of the main locations in the cancelled Fallout 3 project by Black Isle codenamed Van Buren. It is not certain if it will appear in any future Fallout game, but it is known that Bethesda received all Van Buren design documents from Interplay and might re-use some of the background from them.
