While irrigation by white settlers in the Salt River Valley dates back to about 1867, the district is comparatively new in commercial development. The advent of Federal assistance in 1902-1904 marked the beginning of the present regime in the Valley. The Roosevelt Dam was completed in 1911, and at that late date came the emergence of the Salt River Valley as an established region of surplus production, together with the problems attending such a changed condition.
