Mason City was a construction town on the Columbia River, built during the mid-1930s beside the Grand Coulee Dam site, where federal crews were working to harness the river for irrigation and power. The project relied heavily on New Deal public works money during the Depression, so it drew job seekers from across Washington and beyond. Workers lived in temporary housing while the concrete rose in the canyon, and the dam would not be finished until 1942. Local people knew the site as a promise of irrigation for dry farmland in the Columbia Basin, though in 1935 that water was still years away. The town's fortunes depended almost entirely on the dam's progress.
