KNIGHT FOUNDRY … HYDRO-POWER SLIDES

Below is a set of slides that present early hydro-power development in Amador County. Samuel Knight and Knight Foundry were involved in the first hydro plant in Amador County – it was located in Sutter Creek beginning in 1893/94. Hydro quickly evolved to development on the Mokelumne River and those plants were eventually purchased by PG&E in 1904.
