NjengeNobhala wokuqala wesizwe sikaMgcinimafa, u-Alexander Hamilton wathatha izinyathelo zokuqala zokuvikela ukuzimela kwezomnotho waseMelika ekusunguleni iNhlangano yokuSungulwa Kwezinto Eziwusizo (SUM) ngo-1791.
Ngo-1792, iDolobha likaPaterson lakhiwa ngumphakathi, okwakubona i-Great Falls njengewumthombo ophawulekayo wamandla amakhulu edolobheni laseMelika lokuqala elihleliwe.
UHamilton wabhalisa u-Pierre L'Enfant, umdwebi nomdwebi wezobunjiniyela owadala izinhlelo zokuhlelwa emgwaqweni eWashington DC, ukuklama imigodi nemigwaqo ezokwenza amandla emagodini emadolobheni. Ngeshwa, umphakathi wacabanga ukuthi imibono ekhethekile ka-L'Enfant yayifisa kakhulu futhi yafaka esikhundleni sakhe noPetrick Colt, owasebenzisa uhlelo olulula lwemithombo yokugeleza amanzi ngokuphumelelayo emncintiswaneni owodwa kuya ezigayini. Kamuva, uhlelo olufana necebo lokuqala lase-L'Enfant lafakwa endaweni ngemuva kokuthi uhlelo lukaColt lube nezinkinga.
Ngenxa yamandla ama-Falls ahlinzekwa, uPaterson angaziqhayisa izimboni eziningi zokuqala: i-first-roll pointer spinning mill ngo-1793, iphepha lokuqala lokuqhutshwa kwamanzi ngo-1812, i-Colt Revolver ngo-1836, uRogers Locomotive Works ngo-1837, futhi I-Holland Submarine ngo-1878.
Ngo-1945, izimpahla ze-SUM zathengiswa eMzini KaPaterson, futhi ngo-1971, i-Great Falls Preservation and Development Corporation yaqalwa ukuze ivikele futhi ibuyiselwe izakhiwo zomlando nezindlela zokugaya. Ungathola 'isidumbu esidala kunazo zonke esendaweni yomlando', i-Phoenix Mill, eyayiqala uketshezi lwekotini bese isilila lesililika, eVan Houten naseCianci Streets ePaterson.
NgoNovemba 7, 2011, i-Great Falls yaba ipaki likazwelonke lamazwe angama-397 kuze kube yilolu suku, linikeza amandla izakhamizi namabhizinisi ngesiteshi samandla esiphezulu se-Great Falls. Okufakiwe ngo-1986, ama-generator amathathu e-Kaplan akhiqiza ama-generator angaba ngu-30 million ama-kilowatt amahora wamandla ahlanzekile ngonyaka (umthombo) .
